About
The course prepares the student to tend to the ill or injured under the supervision of doctors, nurses and medical professionals usually in an acute care (hospital) environment. Our training program is comprehensive and includes the following necessary skills:
- Obtaining Vital Signs (blood pressure, heart rate, respirations, temperature)
- Collection and Measurement of Specimens
- Glucose Monitoring
- Performing Catheterization
- Sterile Wound Care
- Assisting Patients with Daily Living Skills (eating, personal hygiene and grooming)
- Documentation of Patient Care
PCT's often work in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, and/or clinics.
In addition to the acute-care training that is the core to being a PCT, the student must have already completed, or be currently enrolled in the Phlebotomy and EKG/ECG Programs in order to meet the education requirements of the PCT Program.
