Sterile Processing Technician
Albany Campus
Sterile processing technicians decontaminate, inspect, package and
sterilize equipment and devices used in the health care environment.
These items range from complex devices to simple, hand-held
surgical instruments. Technicians serve a vital role in the healthcare
industry, combating the spread of hospital-borne illnesses, as well
as diseases.
Students will learn what it takes to enter this industry and even gain
clinical experience at Albany Medical Center.
Sterile processing technicians find employment in hospitals,
ambulatory surgical centers, medical laboratories, birth centers and
other facilities where sterilized equipment is needed. They are also in
demand nationally as travel sterile processing technicians.
