Sterile processing techs, also called central service technicians, are allied health professionals who specialize in ensuring medical and surgical equipment and tools are clean and functioning properly. SPTs are crucial members of any central services team and help maintain sterile environments and prevent patient infections. They typically work behind-the-scenes, making this career path ideal for those wanting limited patient interaction while playing an essential role in their well-being.

Some healthcare employers may prefer sterile processing tech job candidates with Certified Ambulatory Surgery Sterile Processing Technicians (CASSPT), Certified Flexible Endoscope Reprocessor (CFER), Certified Instrument Specialist (CIS), Certified Sterile Processing and Distribution Technician (CSPDT), Certified Sterile Processing Management (CSPM), Certified Registered Central Service Technician (CRCST) or Certified Surgical Technologist (CST), and some may even require specific professional certifications.
