What does a patient care technician do?
With the ever-increasing demand on the healthcare industry, patient care technicians are a vital part of today’s medical workforce. Under the supervision of doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals, a patient care technician (PCT) helps look after sick and injured patients.
Their primary duties include the following:
• Basic patient care like bathing, feeding, and catheter care
• Acquiring, distributing, and administering patient care supplies
• Collecting laboratory specimens
• Ensuring the cleanliness of patient rooms and conducting safety checks
• Monitoring and recording changes in patient health and vital signs
• Performing EKG and phlebotomy procedures
How’s the job outlook?
There’s never been a better time to start your career as a patient care technician. As the national population continues to age, more and more assistants will be needed to perform routine administrative and clinical duties. And, with more than 2.6 million jobs expected to become available in the healthcare industry, there’s plenty of opportunity to find a rewarding career you love.
Where do PCT work?
Patient care technicians have many options available for work location and environment. Most PCTs work in a hospital, home care agency, or a nursing home, while others work in doctors' offices, clinics, or rehabilitation centers. Additional job placement opportunities can be found through specialized training, including
dialysis, emergency room, and ICU specialization.
