Industry partnership · hands-on education

Help equip the next generation of sterile processing professionals.

ATS brings sterile processing education to life through focused course topics, demonstrations, and scheduled hands-on sessions. Industry partners can support the chapters, teaching props, products, and learner experiences that connect classroom knowledge to the field.

Why the program exists

Sterile processing is hands-on work. Learners build confidence by wrapping a tray, reading an indicator, and inspecting an instrument — not just by reading about it. Consumable products are what make that practice possible, and every lab day uses them up.

The ATS Hands-On Education Partner Program connects industry expertise and products with the people learning to use them. It supports education, workforce development, and a patient-safety culture that starts before a technician’s first shift. Any hands-on activities are scheduled, instructor-led classroom sessions — ATS does not operate a hospital lab.

What partners can support

The topics, tools, and supplies that make learning real.

Decontamination PPE

Gowns, face shields, protective eyewear, gloves, masks, and shoe covers so every learner can practice donning and doffing for decontamination.

Sterile packaging

Sterilization wrap, pouches, indicator tape, tray liners, corner protectors, and dust covers for wrapping and packaging practice.

Sterilization monitoring

Chemical indicators, biological indicators, test packs, and recordkeeping tools that show learners how quality is verified and documented.

Instrument care & inspection

Brushes, inspection aids, magnification, tip protectors, and instrument organization products for cleaning and inspection stations.

Learner access

Scholarships, sponsored seats, and transportation or lab-day support that help a learner show up and take part.

Course topics & demonstrations

Support a defined learning topic — such as Chapter 15 low-temperature sterilization — with approved educational resources, reusable props, sample devices, and subject-matter expertise.

Product suitability, use, and instruction remain subject to the manufacturer’s current IFUs and ATS curriculum review.
