Associate Program of Surgical Technology

Hello dear friends, my name is Seda Ozkucuk. I am a student at the University of Cappadocia in the Cappadocia Vocational College in the Associate Program of Surgical Technology The aim of the Associate Program of Surgical Technology is to train health technicians who will prepare and use surgical devices, surgical supplies and advanced medical devices that are used in the operating room. These things include navigation, microscopes, and so on. The lessons we generally take are; Physiology, Anatomy, Microbiology, Operating Room Applications, Infectious Diseases, and Surgical Diseases. Our laboratories have models, microscope devices, and surgical instruments. Most importantly, before entering the hospital environment we have to make our preparations here and train in an experienced manner. In our program, internships are required and occupational practices are carried out in different hospital environments. A twenty work day internship is mandatory. After graduation, we are able to work in operating units and sterilization units of private hospitals or public hospitals. I chose this department because I like anatomy. I also like to take care of people. I chose this profession especially because I was interested in it. I chose this place because it is close to my home and because I like it. While I was studying here, I have benefited most from the academic staff. My goal after graduation is to work in an operating room in a state hospital.My friends who would prefer Cappadocia Vocational College because they know that the academic staff here is very successful. There are laboratory facilities here that are not available in other universities. I wish my colleagues success in all that they do.
