When Jordan Duvernay learned he was accepted into Concord Hospital's Surgical Technology Program he was anxious about returning to a classroom as an older adult. Today, as a program graduate, he is glad he didn't let his initial angst stop him from pursuing his dream of a second career in surgical technology.

Jordan shares why he made the leap to surgical technology:

  • "Challenged me in new ways." The program keeps things fresh and exciting;
  • "Grew my skillset." Age is just a number! Jordan found fulfillment in a new career path;
  • "Perfect for career switchers." Whether you're new to medicine or looking for a change, this program opens doors.

But what about the nitty-gritty?

  • The support system is on point! Instructors and peers were there every step of the way, cheering Jordan on.
  • Simulated Operating Room - Practice makes perfect; this program ensures you're ready for the real deal.
  • Digital classrooms? Yes! No schlepping textbooks.
