The EPiC Consortium Surgical Technology Program hosted by Muskegon Community College on behalf of the partner colleges, is an Associate Degree in Applied Science program and has applied for new program initial accreditation. This program includes courses that lead to a Sterile Processing Certificate. The curriculum includes science courses selected to provide a basis for the clinical and theory application of principles used in Surgical Technology. Basic courses in the theoretical aspects of Surgical Technology include lecture, clinical, and on-line instruction. All Surgical Technology courses must be passed with a minimum grade of C+. The goal of the program is to prepare entry-level surgical technologists who are competent in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains to enter the profession.

Throughout the program, students are provided with hands-on experience in cooperation with various hospitals under the direction of the Program Director/Instructor. 

The Collaborative Surgical Technology Consortium program model allows for students to attain an Associate of Applied Science degree in Surgical Technology and take the National board exam. Lab and Clinical education will be dependent on student location. Consortium students will take their general education courses through their degree-granting college. Core courses will be taken through the EPiC Consortium learning management system. The Consortium model allows seamless transfer of courses between the provider college (MCC) and the degree-granting college. Each partner college will provide preceptors and clinical education sites within their service area for students accepted into the program.
