Hybrid Patient Care Technician

WHAT TO EXPECT

The goal of the 21 week hybrid Patient Care Technician (PCT) program is to prepare students for patient care practice in an entry-level setting. This includes a nurse aide course, Phlebotomy and EKG tech course. You will start with the Nurse Aide program and then take the EKG or Phlebotomy course depending on which one is coming up next. All learning modues are Hybrid classes with on line and on site training combined. Safe and competent patient care practice requires that graduates demonstrate competencies in knowledge, skills, and attitude guided by adherence to ethical and legal principles.  Our patient care tech classes prepare individuals with entry level skills and competencies to function as a patient care technician to assist in providing care for patients with complex health problems, in acute sub-acute, long term and ambulatory care settings. Students are prepared with skills to perform EKG and phlebotomy procedures, as well as CPR under the training and supervision of nurses and doctors.

SOME HIGHLIGHTS

After completing our Patient Care Technician course, students will be prepared to take the Credentia Virginia Nurse Aide Exam, The American Medical Certification Association (AMCA) Phlebotomy Technician Certification, and the AMCA EKG Technician Certification.
