Benefits of Becoming a Certified Sterile Processing Technician
Edge when Applying for jobs
There is no better reason to obtain your certification in a challenging field like Sterile Processing than the fact that MOST hiring managers will not even consider a candidate without certification.
This means, no matter how smart, capable, or dependable you are; no matter how great you are at your current position, or how much schooling you have achieved; there is no path into Sterile Processing without a certification.
Validates your Expertise
There are inevitable disagreements between the operating room team and sterile processing team over the cleaning and sterilization of instrumentation and the amount of time required for each process. Although getting into disagreements is not the goal of any medical professional, when they do occur, completion of sterile processing training gives you the knowledge of instruments, materials, and procedures you need to stand your ground when there’s confusion on best practices.
