Clinical Medical Assistant (CMA)
CMAs perform clinical procedures, care for patients, conduct basic lab tests, and administer medications. They work in a variety of healthcare settings, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, home health agencies, community health clinics, hospices, and physicians’ offices.
Certified Nurse Aide (CNA)
CNAs assist nurses with patient care tasks such as bathing, grooming, feeding, checking vital signs, and managing medical equipment. They work under the supervision of licensed vocational nurses or registered nurses in many types of healthcare environments. Enhanced telemetry training is also included, providing foundational knowledge in electrocardiography—a growing need among local employers.
Electrocardiography (EKG) Technician
EKG technicians play a key role in cardiovascular care by performing electrocardiograms, preparing patients for tests, maintaining equipment, and reporting findings to physicians. They work in hospitals, clinics, and private practices.
Medical Coding Technician
Also known as medical coders, these professionals convert patient data into standardized codes used for billing and records. They extract information from charts—including diagnoses, procedures, and test results—and assign universal codes for healthcare and insurance purposes.
Non-Certified Radiologic Technician (NCRT)
NCRTs assist in basic radiologic procedures, such as taking X-rays, under physician supervision. They prepare patients, operate imaging equipment, and ensure safety protocols are followed. Depending on jurisdiction, NCRT professionals may need to be listed on a registry.
Patient Care Technician (PCT)
PCTs support patients with daily living tasks, monitor vital signs, and assist healthcare providers with procedures. They also provide emotional support and communicate changes in patient conditions to the care team. Duties may also include basic administrative tasks.
Phlebotomy Technician
Phlebotomists are key members of the clinical lab team. Their responsibilities include drawing blood, preparing specimens for testing, verifying patient records, and interviewing donors. They work in hospitals, labs, and physicians’ offices.
