Sterilaztion Technician , 04/2015 - 05/2015
Middle Georgia Family Dentistry – City, STATE, Sterilization technicians are medical support workers who sterilize and prepare equipment and instruments. As a technician, I had to follow guidelines for sterilization exactly since all dental equipment must be completely decontaminated before use. Often, I was also responsible for maintaining necessary supply levels in sterile storage areas. Other day-to-day duties I was involved in included operating and monitoring steam autoclaves, sonic washers, and other sterilizing equipment, cleaning sterilizing equipment, organizing dental instruments, and recording sterilizer test results. Although I only worked at the dentists office for a temporary summer job, I gained imporntant clinical experience and sterilization techniques.
