I
attended HTI in Sacramento in the spring of '05. I
can honestly say the only 2 prerequisites for admissions are
a pulse and the ability to pay. Judging by the
caliber of my classmates, if I needed a surgical procedure
done I would not want any of them within 100
miles of the OR. The didactic portion was a complete
joke. Basically a manual with very little clinical insight. Our
instructor was merely going through the motions. Labs were mainly
run by the students who had been there at least
6 months and there was no method to their madness.
Instructors geared their attention to those students who needed to
have their “cases” signed off so they could graduate. Very
little attention or critique was given by the instructors during
lab hours other than doing mock “procedures.” Even after doing
a “case” the instructor had to move on to the
next student because of being under a time crunch. I
could only take it 2 1/2 months and quit. I
saw the writing on the wall very quickly and later
enrolled in a scrub tech program at a CAAHEP accredited
junior college and earned an A.A.S. degree for about 1/3
of the cost. RUN, do not walk away from HTI.
Based on my experience at HTI I would counsel whomever
is considering enrolling at HTI for surgical technology to look
at another school. To sit for the CST exam you
must be enrolled in a CAAHEP accredited program. I'm sure
the tuition has increased, but there has probably been no
adjustment to their curriculum and methodology.
