外科辅助理学学士学位

The BSSA program at Bellin College prepares competent entry-level surgical assistants in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), 情感(行为)学习领域. We prepare our students to become an integral part of the operating room team upon graduation.

在这个连续三年的项目中, students will learn the skills necessary for management of the sterile field and preparation of the operating room, while also expanding their abilities and knowledge to become an advanced member of the surgical team as a Surgical First Assistant. A surgical first assist anticipates the needs of the surgical team during the procedure and works closely with the surgeon by providing aid in surgical site exposure, bleeding control, wound closure, and performing any necessary intraoperative functions that help the surgeon carry out a safe operation with optimal results.
