The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) Surgical Technologist Residency Program is designed for new graduate Surgical Technologists transitioning from student to novice surgical technologist in the operating room environment.

HSS is committed to supporting new perioperative professionals through a structured learning experience that combines hands-on clinical training, mentorship, and professional development. This program is designed to build the foundational skills necessary to succeed in the highly specialized orthopedic surgical environment at HSS.

The Surgical Technologist Residency Program is a twelve-month structured program from the date of hire. Residents will work directly under the supervision of the Professional Development team and experienced clinical preceptors, receiving individualized clinical instruction, mentorship, and competency-based training. The first six months of the program will focus on completing clinical orientation. Months six through twelve will emphasize mentorship and the continued development of clinical skills and knowledge.

During the program, residents will gain experience in the perioperative environment while developing technical skills, sterile technique expertise, and procedural knowledge required to support orthopedic surgical teams. Clinical training and department placement may vary based on operational needs and learning opportunities.

The clinical orientation process is structured with progressive learning objectives designed to support the development of surgical technologists in a high-acuity operating room setting. Residents will receive continuous feedback and evaluation from clinical preceptors, the Professional Development team, and departmental leadership to support their transition into independent practice.

Regularly scheduled monthly meetings and educational sessions throughout the program are mandatory to provide residents the opportunities for knowledge building, shared learning, mentorship, and professional growth. The goal of the program is to ensure residents develop the confidence, technical skills, and clinical judgment necessary to succeed as a Surgical Technologist at HSS.
