PCT Training

The Patient Care Technician (PCT) program prepares a graduate to work as an entry level PCT in a clinic, a hospital, wound care centers or a long term facility. The PCT performs routine tasks under the supervision of a doctor, a nurse or other medical professionals in monitoring the patient's condition, and in providing basic patient care. The PCT plays a vital role in the health care delivery team since they often have more direct patient contact that any other team members including doctors and nurses. The program provides the PCT the opportunity to gain additional skills to be prepared to perform routine patient care treatments including lab test, electrocardiograms (EKG), collecting blood (Phlebotomy), other clinical tasks and current technology.
