BLINN HOLDS PINNING CEREMONY FOR SURGERICAL TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM

  

Blinn College recently recognized its Surgical Technology Program Class of 2022 with a pinning ceremony.

Graduates received their pins after successfully completing a rigorous two-year program that includes lecture and laboratory classes as well as clinical observation and operating room experience.

The graduates include Kelsey Strange of College Station, Rachel Adams of Plano, and Taylor Cassidy Brown of Normangee.

Program Director Linda Hill said that surgical technology is a specialized field and these graduates have excelled in both their coursework and clinical rotations.

She added that this pinning ceremony is a celebration of the accomplishments of their students and the skills they have acquired to make a positive impact on the patients they serve and the healthcare teams they support.

Surgical technologists are an integral part of the surgical team, assisting surgeons, anesthesiologists, and registered nurses in providing care to patients in the operating room.

They ensure that the equipment functions properly, and that operative procedures are conducted under conditions that maximize patient safety.

Blinn’s Surgical Technology Program is based at the Texas A&M-RELLIS campus in Bryan, which features state-of-the-art simulation labs and an innovative learning environment.

The application cycle for Spring 2023 admission to Blinn’s Surgical Technology Program is open through November 30. To learn more about the program, visit their website at www.blinn.edu/surgical-technology.
