Is it possible to grow from SPT to ST?
I’m interested in becoming a Surgical Technologist, but unfortunately, there aren’t any affordable programs in my area. I’ve heard that some hospitals offer tuition assistance or career advancement programs for employees who start as Sterile Processing Technicians (SPTs). I’d love to know if that’s true and if you or someone you know has taken that path. How long did it take? Thanks in advance!

How to start a new career in the medical field after 40?
After 18 years in corporate marketing and a BA in psychology from 20 years ago I’d like to start a second career in the medical field. I am thinking of starting with a certificate in phlebotomy and then hopefully use tuition reimbursement to help pay for surgical tech school or another two year degree. I know I will take a huge financial set back but I don’t want to work in marketing or corporate anymore. Any advice?
