North Dakota - Surgical Technology

MTC’s Surgical Technology program meets the educational requirements for certification in North Dakota. The program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) upon recommendation of the Accreditation Review Council on Education in Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (ARCST/SA). North Dakota requires surgical technologists to register with the “Unlicensed Assistive Person & Medication Assistant” registry. Surgical technologists do not need to be certified in order to register, but health care facilities may still require surgical technologist certification. The North Dakota Board of Nursing handles registration. Applicants must have graduated from a recognized formal training program or provide a current certification by a nationally recognized board.
