Patient Care Technician
The hybrid patient care technician diploma program at Dorsey College offers a broad foundation of skills expanding the traditional role of the nursing assistant while providing skills for entry-level positions in the health care industry. Skills developed include patient hygiene and comfort, patient safety, obtaining lab samples, drawing blood, and performing ECGs. The patient care technician program also includes training in assisting with clinical procedures, the follow-up of patient care for medical examinations and treatments, and basic health diagnostic procedures. The patient care technician program at Dorsey College is delivered in a hybrid format. That means you will have some of your classes online (via distance education) and other classes will be held on-ground at a Dorsey College campus.
Completion of this program is designed to prepare students to challenge a national certification exam. For those who wish to earn their certification, Dorsey College will pay the cost one time for graduates of this program to challenge a certification exam as selected by Dorsey College, contingent upon the graduate meeting Dorsey College’s exam preparation requirements, which vary by program.
