About Our Program
The Internal PCT Training Program at WVU Medicine Camden Clark Medical Center is a 6-week paid training program, for applicants of all experience levels, that will qualify you, and prepare you, to fulfill the role of a Patient Care Technician at CCMC.
The program is a blend of classroom time and clinical time, coupled with hands-on learning and demonstrations from experienced healthcare professionals.
During classroom time, the program leaders will instruct you on the theoretical and evidence-based requirements of the PCT role. You will receive hands-on instruction in both one-on-one, and group settings, using the actual equipment that you’ll see on the job.
For your clinical experience, you, and small groups of your classmates, will be paired with a PCT Clinical Lead. Your PCT Clinical Lead will lead your clinical experience where you will partner and care for real patients at CCMC.
To aid in your transition to a staff role, you will receive regular continued follow-up from the program leaders after completing the program.
