🩺 Scrub In! It’s Surgery Lab Time! 🥼🏥
Our South College Orlando Physician Assistant students got a hands-on introduction to the operating room during their recent Surgery Lab!
Students practiced proper surgical scrubbing techniques, learned how to don sterile gowns, and explored the instruments and tools commonly used in the OR.
Students also had the opportunity to learn from Tracey Leetom, BS, CST, one of South College Orlando’s Surgical Technology faculty members, who introduced them to the process of creating and maintaining a sterile field in the surgical suite.
👏 These essential skills help build confidence, reinforce sterile techniques, and prepare our future PAs for real-world surgical environments. It’s another great example of how collaboration across programs enhances the hands-on learning experience at South College Orlando!
