A program for every one of your education needs.
Reasons for taking our course
If you are interested in working in the field of medicine:
Our 3 day or 5 day course is ideal for the high school graduate or college student to get a start on creating surgical logs in preparation to working towards a surgical assistance license.
For the person already trained in operating room protocol that would like to advance their training to a licensed surgical assistant, our 4 week course will provide the ground work.
For the medical student looking to gain a license before the residency match process our 4 week course will be the way to go.
For the medical graduate that is waiting for a residency match and wants to work in the surgical field in the meanwhile this is idea to gain the needed log and skills to obtain a surgical assistance license.
For the already licensed Chiropractic Physician* that desires to assist in surgery for their patients, this course is just what they need to become a surgical assistant.*
*This allows the chiropractor to be part of the entire patient care from the initial diagnosis, surgical procedure, follow up care and post operative physical therapy.
(Our three-day course, or our five-day course would help the most with this)
Medical graduates, both foreign and domestic, may find themselves waiting to match for a residency or unable to match for whatever reason. This program provides one-on-one training in a short 4 week course that can lead to a license as a surgical assistant. That license can be used to obtain a position at a hospital, surgical center or physicians office working as a surgical assistant until matching for a residency. For those awaiting the completion of the USMLE steps, this course is a great alternative to doing nothing and letting your skills depreciate. For further incentive, check the internet estimates of the average salary of a surgical assistant in Illinois… Not bad while you’re waiting for your residency, right?
Obtain experience
Highschool graduates, college student, surgical technologist, LPN’s, registered nurses, medical students, medical graduates awaiting a residency are all candidates for our courses and can advance themselves.
