This Program runs for 120 hours in total. The class is available to students from Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Manhattan, NYC as well as all neighboring areas.

 

PCTs are trained to perform EKGs, blood draws & collection, and assist patients with daily health functions. You will be a healthcare technician working directly under the supervision of a nurse or a doctor. Checking vital signs, collecting blood and urine samples, helping patients with mobility and tracking their progress including therapy are only few of the responsibilities that PCTs would fulfill.

 

PCTs work in hospitals, nursing homes, ambulatory healthcare settings and or home healthcare services. PCTs are also required to be detail oriented and responsive.
