At Cornerstone Medical Training Center (CMTC), our Patient Care Technician program is split into 3 phases and allows our students the opportunity to take part in the CNA training program, the Phlebotomy training program, and the EKG Technician training program. Our PCT program is designed to prepare our students to confidently address the responsibilities of a PCT.
