![]() ![]() We feel that Meridian’s prime responsibility to the students (and, ultimately, to the patients) is to be certain that our students graduate with proper experience in dealing with real and living tissue. It is very difficult to train on rubberized pieces and parts, and then move forward to perform those same skills on surgical patients. In keeping with Meridian’s philosophy, we believe that the only real way to become a quality assistant is to take part in real training. We are the only distance education program in the country to offer this top-quality and highly effective training. Meridian has brought top-level physician training to the surgical first assistant. There was a time when this type of training was reserved only for physicians. All procedures are done on anesthetized pigs, affording the benefit of understanding how to handle real tissue, and deal with real bleeding and actual surgical emergencies. We take pride in the programs we offer and work to ensure our graduates are prepared for their future careers. Additional information and resources can be found by clicking on the specific program.
