Patient Care Technician

Doctors, nurses and other health care professionals rely on patient care technicians/assistants to assist with the critical day-to-day care some patients require. Tri-County students are trained to provide hands-on assistance to serve patients’ basic needs, as well as work alongside other health care professionals.

More and more patients require special care, sometimes around-the-clock. Needs vary from patient to patient, making it vital that the Patient Care Technician/Assistant has a diverse range of knowledge and skills to provide their basic care. Tri-County trains students to:

  • Provide basic patient care such as bathing, feeding, catheter care, etc.
  • Acquire, distribute and administer patient care supplies.
  • Perform safety checks and ensure cleanliness in patient rooms.
  • Accommodate the special needs of patients accordingly.
  • Obtain EKG readings and monitor vital signs.
  • Perform phlebotomy procedures.
  • Provide emotional support to patients and families, particularly for those coping with grief and death.
