Surgical Technology Assistant Professor Anna Campbell has worked as a surgical assistant or surgical technician throughout the Chicago area for more than 25 years. She always felt the need to help others, which was fulfilled through her work in health care.
Campbell completed a Master of Science in Health Care Education and currently is working on her Ph.D. in Education with a focus on curriculum and instruction.
Campbell also continues to work in the operating room, assisting a well-known orthopedic surgeon with total hip and knee arthroplasties, which she has done for nearly 15 years. She finds it important to stay relevant in the field while teaching because it offers opportunities to discuss current issues and trends with students.
“I hope students leave my classroom with a passion for medicine and an addiction to helping others,” she said. “I hope they bring a culture of care and compassion into health care that is contagious to those around them. Finally, I hope my students realize how much I care for them as individuals and trust that I will be there for them well after class has ended.”

I have always been a hands-on learner. I completed my certificate in Surgical Technology and started working in the operating room when I was 20, and I immediately fell in love with it.
