Central Service Technician
About the Program
5-credit technical diploma
Central Service students will learn the principles, procedures, and skills to maintain the quality of medical products that are processed, packaged, and sterilized by a hospital. These products, which include everything from thermometers to surgical instruments, are used in emergency rooms, outpatient clinics, patient rooms and surgical suites.
With experience and training, central service technicians can advance to the positions of chief technician, supervisor, or director. Advancement can bring additional management and teaching responsibilities.
