See sterile processing up close — free career expo, Saturday August 15 in Camden

Sterile processing is a career most people have never actually seen. On Saturday, August 15, you can — free, in one morning. The Mid-Atlantic Central Service Association is running its Bridging the Gap Career Expo at the Kroc Center in Camden, and Aseptic Technical Solutions will be there with a table.

It's a room full of the people who do this work: technicians, department leaders, educators, and healthcare employers. Whether you're curious about the field, thinking about training, or already certified and looking at your next step, four hours here will tell you more than four weeks of reading about it.

The details

• Saturday, August 15, 2026 · 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
• Kroc Center, 1865 Harrison Ave, Camden, NJ 08105
• Free entry — open to everyone, all experience levels welcome
• Hosted by the Mid-Atlantic Central Service Association (MACSA), an HSPA chapter

What MACSA has planned

• Meet employers — healthcare facilities and the people who staff their departments
• Explore careers — open positions and the pathways into them
• Gain knowledge — practical tips for moving your career forward
• Build connections — technicians and department leaders already doing this work

Their line for it is “Connect. Explore. Grow.” For anyone weighing up this career, a morning with people who already do it beats any brochure.

Find us at our table

We'll be there the whole morning and we'd like to meet you. Come and ask how the CRCST exam works, what the 400 hospital hours involve and how our students arrange them, whether self-study or a live class suits your situation, and what sterile processing pays around here. We teach twenty minutes up the road in Cherry Hill — if you're local, we're probably the closest classroom to you.

Free, but please register

Entry costs nothing and every experience level is welcome, but MACSA is asking people to sign up in advance so they can plan the room. It takes a minute.
