FAQ

Why is sterile processing important?

Sterile processing is important because it prevents infections in healthcare settings. Handwashing, sterilization, and disinfection of tools, instruments, and equipment are necessary for the safety of the patient.

What's the typical schedule a Sterile Processing Technician works?

Sterilization technician positions can offer flexible working hours (from weekdays to nights and weekends). The exact shift requirements vary based on the type of facility. A hospital will most likely have evening and overnight shifts available. Since there are so many places to find work, you should be able to find the schedule that is the best fit for you.

Is sterile processing a good career?

The time it takes to become a sterile processing technician is relatively short for a career in health care. You can earn a good salary, often with excellent benefits, without going into much educational debt. The medical field is growing very rapidly, so jobs will continue to be in demand.

What skills do Sterile Processing Technician need to possess?

Most sterile processing technicians have a fair amount of autonomy, so you’ll need to be good at keeping yourself on track while completing tasks. Attention to detail is also critical for this career, as sterile processing technicians must adhere to strict infection-control procedures to prevent potentially life-threatening consequences. Finally, you’ll need sufficient manual dexterity to handle sharp instruments and operate sterilization equipment, and the interpersonal skills to work well with others in an occasionally fast-paced environment.

What's the difference between a Sterile Processing Technician and a Surgical Technologist?
