Specific detailed learning objectives are developed for each course by the faculty. On site clinical instruction, supervision, evaluation and placement is the responsibility of the college. PREREQUISITES: Must have passed HITT 1205, SCIT 1407, SCIT 1408, SRGT 1405, 1409, 1361, 1441, and 1463 with a grade of "C" or better. Must be concurrently enrolled in SRGT 1442. CREDIT: 4 Semester Hours

PURPOSE AND RATIONALE The purpose of this course is to continue introducing the student to the whole concept of functioning in the role of a scrub person or assisting in the circulating role. The scrub role concept includes understanding the surgical procedure being performed; gathering and preparing the room with the necessary instruments, supplies and equipment; and functioning in the actual scrub role in all assigned surgical procedures. The laboratory practice in an actual clinical environment will allow the learner an opportunity to scrub, gown and glove and function as a member of the surgical team environment. As the learner begins the scrubbing assignment in each surgical specialty he/she double scrubs, scrubs with hospital personnel assigned to the procedure. He/she may assume first scrub position in confidence while gaining dexterity and knowledge of the scrub role. While learning the concept of circulating, the student may assist the circulator in preparing the patient, obtaining and opening supplies, and preparing the room with the necessary instruments, equipment and supplies; assessing and monitoring the needs of the patient and the surgical team throughout the procedure and providing additional items as necessary. ADA CONSIDERATIONS: The Houston Community College System does not discriminate on the basis of disability in the recruitment and admission of students or the operation of any of its programs and activities.

Title IX: Sex Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct The Houston Community College is committed to providing a learning and working environment that promotes personal integrity, civility and mutual respect in an environment free of discrimination and harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, gender identity and gender expression, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, or veteran status. Sex discrimination includes all forms of sexual and gender-based misconduct. Sex discrimination violates an individual's fundamental rights and personal dignity. HCC is committed to the principle that the working environment of its employees and the classroom environment for students should be free from inappropriate conduct of a sexual or gender-based nature including sex discrimination, sexual assault, sexual harassment, and sexual Early Alert Syllabus Statement The Houston Community College Early Alert program has been established to assist in the overall effort to retain students who are at risk of failing, withdrawing, or dropping a course. This process requires instructional faculty and student support staff to identify students who are performing poorly as early as possible and provide relevant support services to help students overcome their deficiencies. A student is identified when an instructor notices academic or personal difficulties that affect student s academic performance. The possible problem (s) could be tardiness, missed/failed test scores, excessive absences, or a number of other circumstances. Once a referral is made counselors will then contact students to discuss the issues and possible solutions to their academic difficulties.

COURSE GOALS Students will be able to first scrub for procedures within the surgical specialty he/she has been assigned a rotation in and learn to assist the surgeon, while maintaining a safe patient centered environment. This class is considered a capstone experience.

D. CLINICAL ASSIGNMENTS AND ROTATIONS One of the most important areas of your education is the Clinical Educational Plan. During your clinical practicum you will be assigned to affiliated hospitals for specific experiences. Some hospitals provide specific surgical specialties such as cardiovascular or neurosurgery. Therefore, each student may have to rotate to these institutions for those surgical specialties. During the first semester you will be assigned in the following areas: 1. Instrument processing 2. Nursing assistant/attendant 3. Observation 4. Orientation to scrubbing 5. Follow the patient Toward the end of the semester you will spend approximately one day in observation and two (2) days scrubbing in order to prepare you for the following semester. During the second semester you will be assigned approximately twenty-four hours per week in an affiliated hospital for SRGT 1463. Your assignment will include 3 to 6 day rotations in a surgical specialty. During this time you will second scrub and advance to a first scrub position as you become competent. The third semester SRGT 2463 is a continuation of SRGT 1463. Your assignment in the surgical specialties will continue. A period will be allocated for an elective surgical experience of your choice. You may desire to select procedures in which you lack experience. SRGT 2463 is a capstone experience. Each surgical specialty and related area has a particular set of objectives, which should be completed and submitted, to be placed in your file by the end of each surgical specialty rotation. A list of the surgical procedures you scrubbed must be submitted typed, on the designated form, to be placed in your file. The entry on a case log list will have the surgical specialties designated on Excel format. This list may be used when you interview for employment to demonstrate your scrubbing capabilities.

SURGICAL ROTATION CASE REQUIREMENTS Surgical Specialty Total# of Cases Required Minimum# of First Scrub Cases Required General Surgery 30 2 20 2 10 90 3 60 3 30 Surgical Specialties: Cardiothoracic ENT Eye GU Neuro Ob-Gyn Oral/Maxillofacial Orthopedics Peripheral vascular Plastics Procurement/Transplant Diagnostic Endoscopy: Bronchoscopy Colonoscopy Cystoscopy EGD ERCP Esophagoscopy Laryngoscopy Panendoscopy Sinoscopy Ureteroscopy Labor & Delivery Totals 120 1 7 80 40 Maximum #of Second Scrub Cases That Can be Applied Towards 120 Cases 1 0 diagnostic endoscopy cases may be applied toward the second scrub cases 5 5 vaginal delivery cases may be applied toward the second scrub cases. 5

1. The total number of cases the student must complete is 150. 2. Students are required to complete 30 cases in General Surgery. Twenty of the cases n1ust be in the First Scrub Role. 3. Students are required to complete 90 cases in various surgical specialties. Sixty of the cases must be in the First Scrub Role and evenly distributed between a n1inin1um of 5 surgical specialties. However, 15 is the maximum number of cases that can be counted in any one surgical specialty. 4. The surgical technology program is required to verify through the surgical rotation documentation the students progression in First and Second Scrubbing surgical procedures of increased complexity as he/she moves towards entrylevel graduate abilities. 5. Diagnostic endoscopy cases and vaginal delivery cases are not mandatory. But up to 10 diagnostic endoscopic cases and 5 vaginal delivery cases can be counted towards maximum number of Second Scrub Role cases. 6. Observation cases must be documented, but do not count towards the 150 required cases. 7. Counting Cases Cases will be counted according to surgical specialty. Examples: Trauma patient requires a splenectomy and repair of a Lefort I fracture. Two cases can be counted and documented since the splenectomy is general surgery specialty and repair of LeFort I is oral-maxillofacial surgical specialty. Patient requires a breast biopsy followed by mastectomy. It is one pathology, breast cancer, and the specialty is general surgery; therefore, it is counted and documented as one procedure one case. Must submit Case Logs to assigned staff member every Friday by 12 noon Central Standard Time. No exceptions. Failure to send in case logs at the scheduled time will result in a grade of 0 (zero). The student is still responsible for turning case logs in. It is an all or nothing grade. Failure to submit case logs will result in possible ineligibility to graduate from this program.
