Patient Care Technicians provide direct patient care and assist doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals with performing day-to-day care. Patient Care Technicians care for patients by assisting with activities of daily living (ADLs), obtaining patient vital signs, communicating with the healthcare team and patients, complying with confidentiality requirements, performing EKG/ECGs, and Phlebotomy procedures. Patient Care Technicians play a vital role as a member of the healthcare team and are often the ones with the most direct contact with patients. The clinical portion of the program requires a light blue (Ceil) color scrub set, a Patient Care Technician patch, a second-hand watch, and tennis shoes. Upon completion of the Patient Care Technician program, the student will be eligible to sit for the CPCT exam through the National Healthcareer Association (NHA). The exam costs are included with tuition. Student responsibilities include a full immunization record including the Covid-19 vaccine, a yearly influenza vaccine, Tuberculosis screening, criminal background check, drug test, and must be a high school student or graduate. Light blue (Ceil) scrubs can be purchased at the MCC bookstore along with the Patient Care Tech patch.
