Clinical rotations will vary among selected Metroplex area clinical affiliates. Students are assigned to their specific clinical rotations and wear their official program scrub uniforms for their lab experiences and their clinical rotations. You may expect to be at different clinical sites during the program. It is important to have reliable transportation to your clinical site as not all clinical sites are on the DART system.

Criminal Background Checks / Drug Screen SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY Criminal Background Checks / Drug Screen After acceptance to the program and before their first clinical rotation, students will undergo a criminal background check and drug screen as required by our hospital affiliates for all health occupations programs. Students will be responsible for this charge (approximately $86.00). All results of these screenings will become the property of the Health and Legal Studies Division and will not be released to the student or another third party. More information on the background check/drug screen requirement is available at the blue “Resources of Potential Students” link on our website at www.ElCentroCollege.edu/HealthOccAdmissions.

Criminal Background Checks / Drug Screen SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY Criminal Background Checks / Drug Screen IMPORTANT NOTE Students with a previous felony or misdemeanor are not prohibited from applying to a health occupations program. However, the result of the background check and drug screen after acceptance may prevent the student from attending a clinical rotation at our hospital sites, resulting in the student being dismissed from the program.

A Few Frequently Asked Questions…. SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY A Few Frequently Asked Questions…. I have a full-time job. Can I work while I’m in the Surgical Technology program? The Surgical Technology Core Curriculum classes are offered day, evening, weekend and some online schedules; therefore, a potential applicant has the flexibility to work before they apply to the Surgical Technology program. After acceptance and starting the Surgical Technology courses themselves, many students do work. However, due to the lecture, lab and clinical schedules during the week and the study time involved in the program, most students who do choose to work while in the program do so part-time on the weekends. Students in the Surgical Technology program are not paid while doing their clinical rotations.

Frequently Asked Questions (cont.) SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY Frequently Asked Questions (cont.) I am going to apply for financial aid. May I use it for the Surgical Technology program? Yes! To apply for financial aid, please see the guidelines on the El Centro website at http://www.elcentrocollege.edu/paying-college. Students should apply for financial aid well in advance of program application. See the Health & Legal Studies Division Office in Room P-712 at the Paramount Building for available scholarship information.

Frequently Asked Questions (cont.) SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY Frequently Asked Questions (cont.) Are there career advancement opportunities after completing the El Centro College Surgical Technology program? Yes! A sample of the many options for an experienced Surgical Technologist include: Surgical Assistant Specializations in transplant, orthopedic, cardiac, and reconstructive surgical areas Supervisory roles Central Supply management Research, sales, and product development Surgical Technology Educator Animal Care facilities Some positions will require further education. See this link for more information: http://www.healthpronet.org/ahp.month/09_04.html

Frequently Asked Questions (cont.) SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY Frequently Asked Questions (cont.) I earned a “C” in my English course several years ago. I would like to repeat it to earn a higher grade. Which grade will be used for my grade point average and will repeating the course count against my application? You may certainly repeat a course; the last grade earned will be the grade of record. (“W’s” or withdrawals from the course do not count in grade point average calculation.) Please note, however, that if you earn a grade of “D” or “F” in your second attempt in the course, THAT will be the grade of record and we will not honor the “C” you earned in your first attempt. Repeating a course to earn a higher grade does not count against your application as long as you complete the course with a “C” or higher on your last attempt.

SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY Frequently Asked Questions (cont.) How do I calculate my grade point average (GPA)? A grade point average is calculated by dividing the number of total grade points earned in a group of courses by the total number of credit hours those courses are worth. For example, a letter grade earns so many grade points per credit hour for that course: A = 4 grade points X the number of credit hours for the course B = 3 grade points X the number of credit hours for the course C = 2 grade points X the number of credit hours for the course

Frequently Asked Questions (cont.) SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY Frequently Asked Questions (cont.) Here’s a sample of courses, grades earned, and the grade points for each: SCIT 1407 – A A = 4 grade points X 4 credit hours for the course = 16 grade points ENGL 1301 – B B = 3 grade points X 3 credit hours for the course = 9 grade points SPCH 1311 – C C = 2 grade points X 3 credit hours for the course = 6 grade points Add the grade points: 16 + 9 + 6 = 31 grade points Add the number of credit hours: 4 + 3 + 3 = 10 credit hours And finally, divide the number of grade points by the number of credit hours to calculate the cumulative grade point average on these three courses: 31 ÷ 10 = 3.10 GPA

Frequently Asked Questions (cont.) SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY Frequently Asked Questions (cont.) Where do I park at El Centro and the Paramount Building? Although El Centro College does not have reserved parking for students, staff, or visitors, parking is available at meters and various lots adjacent to the Paramount Building. The average cost of parking per day is $3 - $5. We are conveniently located near the West End DART Rail Station and the West Bus Transfer Center. Students who are enrolled in at least six (6) credit hours in Fall or Spring semesters, or 3 credit hours in Summer are eligible for a FREE DART PASS for that semester! The pass is valid on DART trains and buses. See the guidelines on the El Centro College website at http://www.elcentrocollege.edu/students/free-dart-passes. DART schedules and route maps can be found at http://www.dart.org.

Frequently Asked Questions (cont.) SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY Frequently Asked Questions (cont.) I don’t have a Social Security Number. Can I still apply to the Surgical Technology program? A Social Security Number (SSN) is not required to apply to the Surgical Technology program. However, many of our hospitals and clinical affiliates require students to have an SSN in order to perform their clinical assignments at that facility. Therefore, clinical opportunities may be limited for a student without an SSN. IMPORTANT NOTE: Should a clinical opportunity not be available for a student who has no SSN, the student may not be eligible to continue in the Surgical Technology program. Although an SSN is not required to apply to the program, it is required to take the CST examination. Therefore, students who are accepted to the Surgical Technology program are strongly encouraged to contact the El Centro College International Center for information on obtaining an SSN well in advance of graduation from the program.

Frequently Asked Questions (cont.) SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY Frequently Asked Questions (cont.) Do I need healthcare insurance to apply to the Surgical Technology program? Proof of coverage is not required to apply to the Surgical Technology program. However, if you are currently covered by a personal health care insurance policy, we encourage you to include a photocopy of that documentation with your application materials. If you are accepted to the Surgical Technology program and did not include your insurance documentation with your application materials, you must submit proof of personal health insurance coverage prior to the first day of classes in the fall semester. Please note that personal healthcare insurance is not the same as the fee for student liability insurance coverage which is paid in conjunction with your tuition.
