[Steven Jurczak] The surgical tech role is probably the 
most important aspect of surgery. [Music]

0:00:13.440,0:00:19.020
[Ryan Moore - surgical technologist student] The surgical technologist is basically the 
right hand man or woman to a physician, where

0:00:19.020,0:00:24.840
right up and close and personal with the surgeon 
at the surgical site where we passed them their

0:00:24.840,0:00:29.160
instruments to make sure that the procedure 
goes as smoothly as possible. We are also the

0:00:29.160,0:00:33.360
Gatekeepers of the sterile technique or the 
aseptic area to make sure that there's no

0:00:33.360,0:00:39.420
contaminations at all during the procedure. [Chyna Lyons - surgical technology student] Surg
techs are definitely important, they might be the

0:00:39.420,0:00:45.660
most important person in the OR. You have a number 
of opportunities. There are so many fields that you

0:00:45.660,0:00:53.100
can go into. [Steven Jurczak - physician assistant] Every single medical opportunity that 
I've had it always goes back to me graduating from

0:00:53.100,0:01:00.360
Gwinnett Tech and me being a surgical tech.
There's not a doctor, a surgeon in any capacity

0:01:00.360,0:01:06.240
in any Hospital any Private Practice who doesn't 
look and say you have surgical experience wow you

0:01:06.240,0:01:12.000
immediately get pushed to the top of the resume list. 
I know for a fact in order for me to be engaged

0:01:12.000,0:01:16.560
in order to push myself I want to go to one of 
the best programs in the country and so that's

0:01:16.560,0:01:23.280
why I chose Gwinnett Tech. [Ryan Moore] I chose Gwinnett Tech 
because while researching, I found out that it was

0:01:23.280,0:01:28.440
the number one search Tech program in the state of 
Georgia. My experience here throughout this program

0:01:28.440,0:01:35.580
it definitely prepared me for going out to the 
field and clinicals. [Chyna Lyons] The program, curriculum, the

0:01:35.580,0:01:42.540
faculty really helped mold me into the woman that 
I am. Into the surg Tech that I'm becoming. I feel

0:01:42.540,0:01:47.400
prepared every day when I go to the hospital. 
[Steven Jurczak] I was awarded financial assistance through

0:01:47.400,0:01:52.920
the foundation here and me at the time being a 
single parent with an eight-year-old boy that was

0:01:52.920,0:01:59.640
imperative in order for me to be able to finance 
my opportunity to become a surgical technologist

0:01:59.640,0:02:06.780
[Chyna Lyons] Everything that I put into this program is paying 
off it's a very rewarding field and I feel like

0:02:06.780,0:02:11.820
whatever you put into the program in this field is 
exactly what you get out of it if you're willing

0:02:11.820,0:02:19.780
to put in the work for any program here at Gwinnett Tech, you will succeed. Gwinnett Tech is just it. [Ryan Moore] Join us. [Music]
