NEW CLASSES START Jan. 20, 2025!!!
Welcome to the Anesthesia Technology Continuing Education Program; we are excited you chose OCCC as your provider for Advancement CEUs.
The OCCC Anesthesia Technology program is a top-flight academic Institution that has successfully provided Hybrid Anesthesia Technology education for three years. We are excited to offer you an online educational program to help you reach your goal of becoming a Certified Anesthesia Technologist (Cer.A.T.T.)
PROGRAM MISSION
The mission of the Oklahoma City Community College Anesthesia Technology Continuing Education Program is to provide current, academically rigorous instruction designed to prepare Certified Anesthesia Technicians (Cer.A.T.) to advance their credential to Certified Anesthesia Technologist (Cer.A.T.T.) within the anesthesia care team as defined by the American Society of Anesthesia Technologists and Technicians (ASATT) and other professional regulatory bodies. The program recognizes that quality anesthesia technology education must incorporate innovation, integrity, and diversity across the curriculum to prepare graduates to provide high-quality health care to the community.
OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAM
The program is broken into four primary courses that offer participants 52 CEUs at the program's conclusion. Practical Experience Pathway (PEP) and Cer.A.T.s who complete the program, earn ACLS, and complete the PEP or Advancement Program Application as outlined by ASATT are eligible to sit for the ASATT NCE Exam.
The program's four courses are delivered online in eight-week sessions throughout 16 weeks. OCCC offers an optional fifth course (ACE-2313) for those desiring more preparation before sitting for the exam. For those opting to take the additional course, the length of the program is 24 weeks.
The curriculum was developed by program faculty with particular attention to the curricular standards outlined by ASATT. This program is not under the purview of CoA-ATE or CAAHEP and does not require approval from this CAAHEP, as it does not confer a degree and awards Continuing Education Units as designated by ASATT. The program was approved by ASATT to provide PEP coursework.
