Finding programs in PA

(Posted in a different subreddit for more help!)

Hi! Hopefully I’ll be getting a job as a sterile tech soon, but my end goal is to become a surgical tech once I gain enough experience and build professional connections with the people I work with.

I’ve been looking into programs, but it seems like there aren’t many options near Allentown, PA—most of the certified ones are 2–3 hours away, and I’m really not trying to travel that far 😭

Is there any way to get a certification or associate degree for surgical tech fully online, and possibly complete the clinicals at a hospital like LVHN (where i’ll be working at hopefully) or St. Luke’s? I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences!
