Surgical Economy
Training for a Career as a Surgical Technologist
Who knows what the job market of tomorrow will bring? Hours cut? Reduced benefits? Layoffs? While there is never a guarantee of a job in any field, some fields are growing and expanding while others are shrinking. According to the Department of Labor, education and health services actually gained 883,000 jobs between December of 2007 and March of 2010 even as the economy as a whole eliminated more than 8.2 million positions. This level of job growth even outperformed that of the government sector, which rang up an increase of 119,000 jobs.
Health Services Sector Predicted to Grow
With advancing medical technologies plus a growing yet also aging population, health services is a field that is going to create a lot of new opportunities in the coming years and is expected to continue to grow at a rate higher than the national average for other industries.
Among the many growing fields in the health service sector is that of surgical technologist. Scrubs, as they are informally known, assist the operating room doctors in prepping patients for surgery. They test and position equipment, assist in sterilization procedures, help the doctors in any way needed during surgery and return the patients to their rooms after the procedure is finished. Surgical technologists with advanced training serve in the more important role of surgical first assistant.
In their Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010-11 Edition, the Bureau of Labor Statistics tags surgical technologist as one of tomorrow's job categories expected to grow much faster than the average. The estimate is for a 25% increase in surgical technologists between 2008 and 2018. That's a huge jump and Tulsa colleges are doing their part in providing the skills these new jobs require.
The best part of training for these positions is that surgical tech schools can prepare you for this field in anywhere from nine to 24 months. Another factor to consider is that you can take these newly-acquired job skills with you to anyplace you want to live in America. Hospitals and health care facilities are in search of qualified help. It is important to find out, however, if you need to be certified in your state and know which exams you will need to take, if any, in the event that you move.
Tulsa colleges offer all the necessary types of training and certification for surgical technologists. Some positions require only an educational certificate while others need a more formal associate's degree (2 year), followed by a nationally-accredited professional certification test.

Do you think that a surgical technologist is a job field to go into with .....?
the economy going down hill? Do you think that there will be jobs available?
There are some things that people are always going to need regardless of the economy. Medical care is one of them. It's one of (if not thee) fastest growing field. I have a friend who is taking up nursing and he just started college.They have him working 8 hours a week at the hospital already and he is even getting paid, plus it counts for college credit.
Good luck.
