(Camdenton, MO) – Crowder College surgical technology students won their first ever scrub bowl competition at the Missouri Association of Surgical Technologists annual meeting in Camdenton, Missouri this past weekend.
Students participating in the competition include:
- Cadynce Macy (Joplin)
- Aidan Boydston (Joplin)
- Rebecca Stephens (Neosho)
“To say we are excited is an understatement,” reported Melissa Smith, Director of Crowder College – Joplin. “We were able to defeat the reigning eleven-year champion school in our third year as a program. The first year of our program, they narrowly edged us out by one point.”
The surgical technology program at Crowder College offers students the opportunity to earn an associate of applied science degree and a career working in perioperative settings. The selective program provides successful candidates the requirements to be eligible for the national certification exam upon completion.
About Crowder College:
Crowder College was established in April 1963, as the voters of Newton and McDonald counties passed the issue to create a community college (formerly junior college) on the land formerly known as Camp Crowder. Today, the college provides services to a nine-county service region in southwest Missouri with locations in Neosho, Cassville, Joplin, McDonald County, Nevada and Webb City. The student population exists from within the four-state region, and around the globe. With over 80 degree and program options, the college is a great place to train for a career or transfer to a university.
