Exam Review
The exam review teaches practical skills in a workshop environment. You will be supported by experienced professionals and receive personal feedback on your progress throughout the day.
We will review multiple choice questions that closely follow the exam format and cover every exam topic. Unlike some review courses, the surgical tech bootcamp also presents valuable review information in an easy-to-read outline format, enabling students to quickly find both relevant concepts and corresponding practice questions. Part A presents realistic questions and review content about medical terminology, A&P, microbiology, infection control, pharmacology, anesthesia, biomedical sciences and technology, the surgical environment, asepsis, the surgical patient, wound management, instrumentation, equipment, preparation, and professionalism. Part B thoroughly covers each type of surgery, from general to reconstructive, orthopedics to neurosurgery. Reflecting the current exam, anatomy labeling exercises are included in many chapters. This workshop also contains a completely new combined sample test.
Students have the option to sit for the National Exam at the end of the bootcamp
