Surgical technologist programs in Spokane & North Idaho

2 programs open to the public, and 3 run by employers and schools for their own people. Each shows its length, cost and format as the school publishes them, what backs it, and a link to enroll. 23 open surgical tech jobs on the board now.

Who approves these: Washington registers surgical technologists without requiring a training program (WAC 246-939-020), but many local openings are for Certified Surgical Technologists. Every program here says it's accredited by CAAHEP and prepares you for the national certifying exam. Source: WAC 246-939-020.
