Build the Skills for Safe, Confident Practice in the Operating Room
The Surgical Technologist Training Program is a 22-week, full-time experience designed to prepare learners for a meaningful career as a Certified Surgical Technologist (TS-C).
The curriculum blends foundational knowledge with hands-on skill development through a mix of online learning modules, live virtual classroom instruction, lab-based training, and campus-based operating room experience. Participants learn alongside experienced preceptors who provide guidance, feedback, and support throughout the program.
By the end of the program, participants have built the technical skills, clinical judgment, and professional confidence needed to demonstrate safe, competent practice in the operating room. Graduates complete the program having earned the NCCT Tech in Surgery–Certified (TS-C) credential, ready to step into practice with confidence and purpose.
Eligibility Requirements
The Surgical Technologist Training Program is open to current AdventHealth team members who are interested in growing into a Certified Surgical Technologist role.
No prior surgical technology training or certification is required. Participants should be prepared to commit to a full-time training schedule and actively engage in both classroom instruction and hands-on operating room experience throughout the program.
As part of the application process, applicants must provide their direct supervisor’s contact information so a Direct Supervisor Evaluation Form can be completed in support of their participation.

There is no tuition cost to participate in the Surgical Technologist Training Program. Team members continue as paid AdventHealth employees throughout the program, receiving their regular pay and benefits. This program reflects AdventHealth’s commitment to investing in its people and supporting meaningful career growth while caring for the whole person — body, mind, and spirit.
