My Surgical Technology clinical experience is scheduled to begin on September 9, 2026. During this phase of my education, I look forward to applying the knowledge and skills I have developed through classroom instruction, lab practice, and surgical simulations in a professional clinical environment.
My goals are to strengthen my sterile technique, improve my knowledge of surgical instruments and procedures, anticipate the needs of the surgical team, and continue developing confidence while always prioritizing patient safety. This page will be updated throughout my clinical training to reflect my experiences, responsibilities, and professional growth.
