Making the Grade: Improving Scrub Tech Success with Sterile Processing Education

Between Seasons 6 & 7, we're re-releasing some of our most popular episodes from Season 3!  Surgical Techs – how much training did you receive in the Sterile Processing Department (SPD) while you were in school? Do you feel like the training you received gave you an adequate understanding of SPD? Joining us today to discuss SPD training is Eboni Saurage, EdD, CST, Assistant Professor of Surgical Technology at Baton Rouge Community College in Baton Rouge, LA. Eboni developed a program within the surgical tech program at her school that focused on learning sterile processing. Hear how increased education in SPD can benefit surgical techs, how it can improve relationships between OR and SPD staff, and learn the benefits of learning sterile processing while in scrub tech school.
