UW Health is launching a first of its kind apprenticeship program. The surgical technology apprenticeship offers all the coursework leading to an associate degree and makes it easier for someone to become a surgical technologist. Surgical techs prepare the operating room before surgery and assist a surgeon in caring for tools used during surgery. UW Health says the program, the first of its kind in the country, helps address the healthcare workforce shortage, meet patient needs and reduce barriers to beginning a career as a surgical tech. Tuition, books, and supplies for the first two years of the program will be covered by a grant that has been secured by the Workforce Development Board of South Central Wisconsin.
