Sterile Processing Technician

A sterile processing technician cleans and sterilizes used surgical instruments and other medical supplies so that they can be safely redistributed and reused on additional patients. This course prepares students to clean, disinfect, and distribute sterilized instrumentation and equipment to various areas of a healthcare facility.

This class is taught using the books and curriculum of Sterile Processing University, to prepare participants for the CBSPD CSPDT certification exam. For more information, including registering for the exam, click here to visit the CBSPD's website.
