Are you preparing students for jobs as patient care technicians? Why not offer them a new credential backed by the respected AMT name — the Patient Care Technician (PCT).
This new credential is specifically for those who seek to work in the growing number of jobs for PCTs. As integral members of the healthcare delivery team, PCTs provide basic care for hospital patients or residents of long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes. PCTs have similar duties to nursing assistants, whose job outlook is expected to grow by 17% in the next decade—faster than the average for all occupations. Currently, there are 1.5 million nursing assistant positions in the U.S.
