Chattahoochee Technical College honored its Class of 2019 Surgical Technology program graduates in a ceremony held Thursday, July 25, at the college’s North Metro Campus.
“The future is bright for the graduates of this program,” said Chattahoochee Tech Surgical Technology Program Director Lorraine Wilderman. “Some of them already have jobs waiting for them. They’re not having any problem getting jobs.”
The Surgical Technology Program ceremony featured remarks from Ron Webb, the college’s Dean of Health Sciences, along with remarks delivered by Class of 2019 graduate Hannah Fisher and previous program graduate Brittany Collum. “I can honestly say that going into this field, I was trained absolutely perfectly,” said Collum, who graduated from Chattahoochee Tech in 2018. She currently works as a Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) at Marietta Plastic Surgery. “You’ve been shown by the best faculty what to do,” she said. “No one could have trained me any better.”
