Patient Care Tech Program:

Patient care technicians are non-certified support staff that can help assist in basic medical tasks.

Students in the program are given six months to a year to go through a series of modules that progress their skill sets toward what is needed to become certified as a medical assistant. During the program, the staff members go through three promotion levels (PCT 1, PCT II and PCT III) with the fourth being becoming certified medical assistants after passing the national certification exam.

“We built out a four-step program for them to move through those skills. Each skill I would monitor closely to make sure that they were competent in. They would have a whole skills list and they would go through that, whether it be the training team or who they were shadowing for the day,” Katelynn Parks said. “The PCTs loved being able to do a little bit more outside of their current scope, which was very limited. We would train them specifically for Colorado Mountain Medical and what we needed our clinical assistants to do differently from other places.”

All of this skills training was provided on the job, meaning that not only were the students working toward — and gaining the skills needed — for the certification, they were being paid to do so.
