Ernest T. Kruah Jr. BSc. CRCST, CHL, CIS
Welcome to the world of Sterile Processing
Hi, I am Ernest T. Kruah Jr. BSc. CRCST, CIS, CHL, CEO, of Kruah Consultants LLC.
I have worked in the allied health field of Sterile Processing for over 12 years as a Certified Technician and Supervisor. I am currently Consulting while managing a Sterile Processing department in Northern New Jersey.
I started of as a CS Technician at the Englewood Hospital Medical Center and moved on to Ambulatory care facilities. After a couple of years, I decided to use my skills and become a travel technician that took me through many states around the country. Some of my favorites include Georgia, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, just to name a few. Finally, I settled in New Jersey, and I currently manage a Sterile Processing Department at a high volume ASC in Northern New Jersey.
I am very enthusiastic about the impact this course could have on participants as a career choice, whether temporary or long term.
In my experience, I have seen the technological advances in the field of Central Sterile Processing and medical instrumentation that now requires technicians to have the skills to answer the questions WHY? So, my job is to help you answer the question of why we do, what we do in the world of medical instrumentation reprocessing and patient care.
I look forward to sharing my knowledge and passion for this industry with you all! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Thank for reading, and welcome.
