Career Description: Sterile Processing Technicians work in health care organizations to prepare and sterilize surgical instruments and supplies used in the operating room and to care for patients in a variety of settings including hospitals, surgery centers, cosmetic surgery centers, ambulatory surgical sites, dental offices, and laboratories. Your job as a professional Central Services Tech will be crucial to the health and safety of every patient and healthcare worker. That is why the Central Sterile Processing department is referred to as, “the heart of the hospital”.
Career Outlook: The medical field is the fastest-growing sector in America, and it is projected to increase by at least 20% through the next 5 years. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of the Central Sterile Processing Technician is expected to grow nationally 14 % faster than the average. Employment opportunities for central sterile processing technicians are expected to be excellent, due to increased needs within the health care industry and a larger and older population.
Work Attire: As a Sterile Processing Tech, you will be able to work in comfortable medical uniforms (scrubs) and non-skid shoes.
Average Salary and Wages: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the national average salary of a Central Service Technician is $25.34 per hour. However, wages vary greatly and are dependent on experience and facility.
Program Objective: This course will focus on the requirements of the Healthcare Sterile Processing Association and prepares you to take the Certified Registered Central Service Technician (CRCST) certification exam. Successful completion of this course will prepare you to sit for your preliminary certification. Students are required to complete 400-hours of work (for pay or as a volunteer) in a Central Service department after completion of the course, in order to earn their permanent Sterile Processing Technician certification. You may begin working in the field, as soon as you finish the program. Alternatively students may also take the CSPDT (Certified Sterile Processing and Distribution Technician) exam provided by CBSPD to obtain certification, which does not require work hours. Both certification bodies are nationally recognized and accredited.
MHA is proud to announce that 100% of graduating students who have taken this course and sat for their national certification exam, have passed, on their first attempt!
