The DIALYSIS TECHNICIAN Program, provides students with the knowledge and basic skills needed to perform the responsibilities of a Dialysis Technician.
The course encompasses the theory needed and classroom hands on education. It reviews normal kidney physiology, the basic principles of hemodialysis, kidney dialysis machines, dialyzer preparation and reprocessing as well as how to assist dialysis patients in managing their disease and treatment.
Dialysis Technicians are employed in hospitals and Dialysis outpatient clinics. The number of dialysis technician jobs has the potential to increase by more than 35% by 2022. While most technician training has historically been done “on-the-job,” today’s healthcare employers are seeking well-trained technicians.
