Credit Hours:
(3-0-0-3)
3 Credit Hours
Course Description:
This course provides a comprehensive study of the operative environment, professional roles,
moral/legal/ethical responsibilities, and medical communications used in surgical technology. Topics
include historical development, professional behaviors, medical terminology,
interdepartmental/peer/relationships, operating room environment/safety, pharmacology, anesthesia,
incision sites, physiology of wound healing, and biomedical sciences. Upon completion students should
be able to apply theoretical knowledge of the course topics to the operative environment.
Course Notation:
This course is a web-enhanced course. The student will need access to Blackboard to retrieve class
work, homework, Power-point lectures, and test material. Additionally, students are required to
communicate with instructors exclusively via their ABTECH student e-mail accounts. Communication
via e-mail is routine and frequent. The student is responsible for all material and communications
delivered via e-mail.

COURSE POLICIES:
The instructor reserves the right to alter course content, presentation, or sequence.
There will be no make-up quizzes or tests. Homework will be collected on the class period after it is assigned
unless there is another DUE date on the syllabus. Incomplete or late homework will not be accepted.
Open Grade Book Policy:
The Surgical Technology Program Faculty maintains an “open grade book” policy as well as an open door policy
and will make every effort to keep students aware of their progress throughout the semester. If you at any time
have a question about the grading procedure, status of your grade, or overall progress throughout the curriculum,
please do not hesitate to ask!
Academic Dishonesty
You may not deceive any official of the college by cheating on any assignment, exam, or paper. This
includes plagiarism, which is the intentional theft or unacknowledged use of another’s words or ideas.
Plagiarism includes (but is not limited to) paraphrasing or summarizing another’s words or works
without proper acknowledgement, using direct quotes of material without proper acknowledgement, or
purchasing or using a paper or presentation written or produced by another. The faculty at A-B Tech
may also consider presenting as original work a paper written for one class to satisfy a requirement in
another class to be academic dishonesty.
Approved by the Academic Affairs Committee
on November 18, 2003
Disabilities
Any student with a documented disability needing academic adjustments or accommodations is requested to
speak with the coordinator of Disability Services in the Azalea building, Annie Clingenpeel (254-1921 ext. 141 or
e-mail Aclingenpeel@abtech.edu).

CLASSROOM ATTENDANCE POLICY:
The Program Faculty believes that anytime a student is not in attendance at a didactic class, laboratory
session, or clinical rotation, he or she is not able to receive the full benefits of a presentation or experience even if
competencies are eventually met. It is also believed that regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students
for them to achieve their potential in the surgical technology program and to develop desirable personal traits
necessary to obtain employment in any Allied Health profession. These traits are among the first looked for by
prospective employers. In fact, the student should be reminded that every time they put on their uniform and go for
clinical instruction they may be completing part of an informal job interview whether they know it or not. For these
reasons, full-time attendance is expected in all didactic classes, laboratories, and clinical experiences.
1)
Proper Call-in Procedure
The student is responsible for contacting the program faculty regarding absences prior to the scheduled class
time. Faculty offices are equipped with voice mail. The extension numbers are listed in this syllabus.
When calling in, please leave your name, the time you called, the reason for your absence, and when you
expect to return to class. If a phone call to the instructor's office should go unanswered, please call the
Allied Health secretary at ext. 281 and leave a message. Her usual office hours are 8:30 AM-12 noon and
1:00-4:30 PM. Messages must not be sent through other people unless extenuating circumstances prevail.
2)
Failure to properly report an absence will result in an unexcused class absence and the student will
receive a "0" on any homework due or test given on that day
.
3)
To receive course credit, a student should attend a minimum of 90 percent of the contact hours of the class.
Upon accumulating absences exceeding 10 percent of the course contact hours, the student may be
dropped from the class with a grade of “U” at the discretion of the instructor. Being late for class is also
a serious interruption of instruction. A tardy is defined as arriving late for class (any minutes), leaving
early (any minutes,) or being away from class without permission during class hours. It is departmental
and college policy that three tardies is the equivalent of one full day’s absence from class or clinic. For
every third tardy, the student will have one full day’s absence counted for the course.
Students are reminded that they must be in the classroom at the time of the scheduled course. Students are
not permitted to interrupt class with their tardiness. The classroom door will be locked at the scheduled
start of class. Students will not be permitted classroom entrance until the first break, provided they are
present at that time. Homework will be accepted at the beginning of class ONLY. If the student is late,
homework will not be accepted. Tests will not be made up if missed due to tardiness.
4)
The student is also responsible for adhering to the ABTCC Guidelines for Classroom Conduct.
See the most current version of the ABTCC Student Events Calendar and Handbook.
PROLONGED ILLNESS
Students must notify the appropriate classroom or clinical instructor each day of an absence until it is
established exactly how long the student will be out. Any student who misses more than three consecutive school
days of class and/or clinic must obtain proper documentation for the missed time before they will be allowed to return
to classes or clinic.
4
HOLIDAYS AND VACATIONS
Surgical Technology students are committed to one year of full-time study. Within this time, students are
eligible for holidays recognized by the College and vacation time during semester breaks. The student should consult
the academic calendar that is published in the College Catalog and Student Calendar for the dates of recognized
holidays and semester breaks. The student is reminded that up to three inclement weather days may made up at the
end of fall semester and breaks should be planned accordingly.
APPOINTMENTS
Medical, dental, and other appointments should not be scheduled during didactic and clinical times.
Appointments scheduled during these times will create tardies or unexcused absences unless extenuating
circumstances prevail.

STUDENT GROUP PRESENTATIONS
Students will work in groups of three or four to present material on the following topics and the effect they
have on health and wellness on a Surgical Technologist as well as the potential impact it could have on the
surgical patient:
Physical Activity
Nutrition/Metabolism
Stress
Alcohol
Tobacco
Drug Abuse
Presentations should last at least 15 minutes. Student group presentations shall use a minimum of 1 EACH
of the following: display boards and a Power Point slideshow. For each of the afore mentioned
requirements that are missing from the presentation, a letter grade will be deducted. All student
participants shall have a speaking role in the presentation. This is a group grade, group participation is a
must. Don’t be afraid to be creative! Teamwork is your goal!
