The Science and Evidence Behind Using Sterile Processing Flashcards for Study

Flashcards have long been a staple in studying, and there’s a solid body of scientific evidence to support their effectiveness. And anecdotally, they have been incredibly effective in helping Sterile Processing Technicians pass the CRCST Certification on the first time go. At their core, flashcards utilize two key learning principles: active recall and spaced repetition.

  1. Active Recall: This is the process of actively retrieving information from memory. When students use flashcards, they are challenged to recall an answer from memory rather than passively reading or reviewing material. Studies have shown that active recall strengthens memory pathways, making it more likely that information will be remembered in the future. Research published in Applied Cognitive Psychology highlights that testing oneself, even using simple tools like flashcards, significantly boosts retention rates compared to passive review methods. This evidence shares the strategic advantage you gain when studying for the CRCST Exam using CRCST Flashcards.
  2. Spaced Repetition: Flashcards are most effective when paired with a strategy known as spaced repetition. This method involves reviewing flashcards at increasing intervals over time, taking advantage of the "spacing effect," where information is more easily recalled if it's reviewed periodically rather than crammed. A study in Psychological Science found that spaced repetition is one of the most reliable ways to enhance long-term memory retention.
  3. Dual Coding: Flashcards can also engage dual coding, combining words and images to represent information. This taps into both verbal and visual memory, which can enhance learning, as research shows that combining text with visuals helps information "stick" better. With Sterile Processing technicians, we retain a lot of information by simply doing the job, or seeing things on the job. Why not use this basic skill and put it to use for your CRCST Certification Exam?

CRCST Flashcards are versatile tools that can be used to study nearly any subject, but more specifically all chapters from within the HSPA Sterile Processing Technical Manual 9th Edition. By leveraging active recall, spaced repetition, and dual coding, they help Sterile Processing Technicians retain information more effectively, as supported by cognitive research, and ultimately earning that coveted CRCST Certification you've been working so hard for.

CRCST Prep Flashcards

HSPA Sterile Processing Technical Manual 9th Edition Compliant

All CRCST Flashcards are designed from the HSPA Sterile Processing Technical Manual 9th Edition ensuring accurate questions and answers designed to prep for the CRCST certification exam. CRCST Flashcards easily provide the correct answer and associated page number referenced from the HSPA Sterile Processing Technical Manual 9th Edition. No guessing what section the question is from or having to spend hours looking up the answers, I've already done that for you. This is your time to study, not to be bombarded with senseless work.

Why are the CRCST Flashcards designed around the HSPA Technical Manual and not CBSPD? It's not necessarily CBSPD vs CRCST, but on the other hand, it kind of is. CBSPD does not provide a manual to help you study for their certification exam, nor do they provide you any usable materials to know exactly what to study. Talk about setting you up for failure. Not to mention, 1 out of every 2 people who test with CBSPD fail their exams.....YIKES! Regardless, the HSPA manual can be used to study for the CBSPD test perfectly fine. HSPA is a strong supporter of Sterile Processing Technicians and they do a fantastic job of setting you up for success. That is why more than 75% of people taking the CRCST every year pass and earn that wonderful CRCST Certificate. Ultimately, utilizing the HSPA Sterile Processing Technical Manual 9th Edition, the CRCST Practice Tests, and the CRCST Flashcards together provide the perfect CRCST Exam Prep Program. Pass the CRCST on the first attempt and make that CRCST Certification cost count.

It's About You!

Hi There, My name is Brandon, also known as "The Sterile Guy." Besides my over 20 years of experience in the fields of Sterile Processing, Surgical Technology, and Infection Prevention, my most important focus is advancing the career fields of Sterile Processing and Surgical Technicians. SPD techs & OR techs are vital to the success of any medical procedure whether in the Operating Room or outlying clinics.

My goal is to equip SPD techs & OR techs with the knowledge, experience, and certifications they need to acquire the pay, benefits, and recognition they deserve. I started off simply producing YouTube videos teaching different aspects of each career field. During that time I was repeatedly asked to create materials to help others learn and achieve certifications. So that is what I did, and that is what this entire website is dedicated to. Don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have by clicking the message button at the bottom right of the screen and I will get back to you ASAP. Thanks for checking out the website, and I wish you nothing but success! ~Brandon
