Hello All
I have a question that is related to Surgical Technologist undergraduate programs anywhere in the nation.
Does anyone know of ANY that are online and related to obtaining a BA in Surgical Technology?
Thanks so very much,

Like nursing you have to attend Surgical Tech classes. They have clinicals just like nurses do.
You can get a list of accredited schools on CAAHP.org I believe.

You may be able to take some classes online, such as the basic prerequisites, however, the previous poster is correct in saying that clinicals are a required part of surgical tech classes. Also, most programs grant an associates degree rather than a bachelors.
You can find more information on the Association of Surgical Technologists website: http://www.ast.org
