Surgical Tech Schools in Missouri

Surgical technologists, sometimes referred to as surgical techs, prepare patients for surgery and assist doctors in the operating room. Surgical technologists can be responsible for taking vital signs, recording medical histories and passing the necessary instruments to the operating doctor during a procedure. People interested in working in the field need to be knowledgeable about medical terminology and the basics of the human body. Missouri has several schools that offer training for surgical technologists.
