About this Event

Step into the world of surgery—literally.

Join FTLOS for a one-of-a-kind Skills Lab hosted in a functioning operating room, designed to introduce aspiring surgical professionals to the tools, techniques, and teamwork that define surgical technology.

This lab is perfect for anyone considering the surgical field or just starting their journey—students, pre-health professionals, or those exploring the OR environment for the first time.

You’ll get:

  • A guided walk-through of core surgical tech responsibilities
  • Introduction to the sterile field, surgical instruments, and OR setup
  • Hands-on practice with basic skills
  • Insight into real-world OR expectations
  • Opportunities to ask questions, observe, and connect with others entering the field

Whether you're still deciding if the OR is for you or preparing to enter clinicals, this lab offers clarity, confidence, and community—all in a real surgical setting.
