Happy new year to all of the friends, family, staff, and students of the San Joaquin Valley College Fresno Surgical Technology program. 2009 has certainly been a year to remember, and as always, the year has flown by. The coming year will hold a lot of challenging and exciting times for the surg tech students. As we round out the final weeks of term one, the students are gearing up for term two. This term will consist of 15 weeks of classroom and laboratory instruction for the soon-to-be sophomores that will hone in their skills and prepare them to enter the operating room at their assigned clinical sites and begin to assist in surgical operations on real patients. The junior class will be moving into their final term as seniors and will continue their clinical externships at new facilities. Please take a moment to congratulate your son, daughter, spouse, mom, dad, friend, or family member on their accomplishments so far as they have embarked on the journey toward gaining a rewarding education and career. Good luck to all of you as we start this new year. Happy 2010!

I just wanted to send out this quick update and let everyone know that the Surgical Technology Resource site has been integrated into the following website:
www.surgicalassistantresource.org
Check this site periodically for study aids, links to info to help out on projects and presentations, and for any other info related to the profession.
Also, I just wanted to take a moment and say that you all did a good job in lab this week. I know that it is getting down to the wire, but just keep up the studying and come to open lab this Friday. Your skills are improving each and every week, keep it up and you will be excelling at your clinical sites in no time! Have a great weekend and get geared up for intraoperative skills next week. We have now graduated to the next level in surgical case management!
