The Operation Theatre Technology (OTT) bachelor of science program trains students in surgical processes, nursing skills, and management of the surgical theatre. It is built upon disciplines such as anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and pharmacology which are essential in the medical field. Students are also educated in anesthesia technology, surgical instruments, infection control, and sterilization which are necessary for safe and efficient surgical environments. Finally, there are courses in pathology and emergency medical services which prepare students for critical issues in the operating theatre.
