The Surgical Technology program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and is designed to meet the educational requirements for surgical technologists in Idaho. If you intend to seek licensure outside of Idaho after finishing your program, use the list below to find information on the state or U.S. territory in which you intend to be licensed in order to identify whether NIC’s program meets, does not meet, or is undetermined whether it meets the educational requirements for licensure.
If NIC’s program has not yet determined whether the program meets the educational requirements for licensure in the state in question, it may meet all or a portion of the educational requirements. NIC recommends you contact the licensing agency directly before beginning the NIC program.
For more information regarding state qualifications and licensure requirements refer to the Association of Surgical Technologists.
For more information, please contact Betsy Conery, betsy.conery@nic.edu.
