Pass the CIS EASY!
You most likely already have the Certified Registered Central Service Technician (CRCST) certification, but if you don't, the CRCST is a prerequisite for the Certified Instrument Specialist (CIS) certification. To learn more about the CRCST click here.
The CIS is one of the best certifications to have (besides the CRCST of course) because it represents the core of our jobs in Sterile Processing.........Surgical Instruments! What is a Sterile Processing Technician who doesn't know, recognize, and understand surgical instruments? Obtaining the CIS is an incredible badge of honor.
Now with that said, it is important to know how to study for this certification. This is one of the only certifications that will require 2 books to study from. That's right, 2 books! Not only will you need to study the CIS Instrument Resource Manual from Healthcare Sterile Processing Association (HSPA), you will need to study The World of Surgical Instruments book developed by industry leader Rick Schultz. With the CIS certification it is imperative you know all the basics of the CRCST exam, but also a major variety of surgical instrumentation from all surgical areas to include Ortho, OB/GYN, Neuro, Cardiovascular, and General to name a few.
But I don't want you to be purchasing everything at full cost, we don't make enough money as it is. So I want to make sure you have the right discounts in your access to save some money. You can save 10% off The World of Surgical Instruments by using code "SGBOOK" at checkout from www.instrumentlearning.com. Rick Schultz also has a fabulous instrument flashcard set you can get at 10% as well using code "SGCARDS".
The book I learned instrumentation on that is still an awesome book at a decent price is Differentiating Surgical Instruments. I highly recommend this book as well.
If you want to test your knowledge and fine tune your proficiency for the CIS exam, I highly suggest you checkout the CIS Resources developed by yours truly, The Sterile Guy. These CIS Resources were specifically developed to focus on pertinent areas of the CIS exam to help you pass.
Lastly, I have a YouTube video which further explains how to pass the CIS exam. Click Here to watch.
Let customers speak for us
The practice questions gave me full insight of what will come out of exam. Thanks sterile guy for putting this together. Amazing work. I will. Buy another package again for my CIS.
This has helped me in so many ways getting ready to take my certification. The practice tests are super helpful, and it was definitely worth it!!
From the initial answers I got after asking questions before purchasing, to the easy to checkout process, to receiving my order in the mail (in an impressive amount of time), to the quality of the flashcards, I was impressed, in fact, I am still impressed.
I must say, this Sterile Processing Supreme Bundle delivers.
You'll just have to make the purchase to see exactly what I mean when I say, "The flashcards are 'matter-of-fact' evidence to the standard of academic excellence 'the sterile guy' has committed to."
These cards were exactly what I was looking for! Excellent information and made with care. Huge thank you to The Sterile Guy!
I recently purchased the sterile processing flash cards, and I couldn't be more pleased! These cards are incredibly informative and well-organized, making it easy to review key concepts and terminology. The visuals are clear, and the information is presented in a concise manner, which helps reinforce learning. I've found them to be an invaluable resource for both studying and quick reference. I highly recommend these flash cards to anyone in the sterile processing field or those preparing for certification. They truly enhance the learning experience!
This program is a MUST buy for any techs, with or without work experience. The videos are great and informative, and everything is in bullet point and highlighted, which makes studying so much more fun and easy compared to relying on the manual handbook. I highly recommend everyone to buy the 101 course and ultimate bundle package that comes with flashcards and more exam questions, it's worth every money you can invest to pass the exam. Brandon is also very helpful in answering any concerns or questions. I would not have passed without this program. Thank you brandon!
