Primary care technicians (PCT) support the delivery of frontline health care services by assisting with both clinical and administrative tasks in outpatient and primary care settings. Under the supervision of licensed medical staff, PCTs perform duties such as measuring vital signs, preparing patients for exams, assisting with basic procedures, collecting specimens, administering medications, and documenting patient information. They may also help with tasks like scheduling, room turnover, and maintaining patient flow throughout the clinic. 

PCTs are often employed in community health centers, outpatient clinics, and primary care practices. This role requires strong interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work in fast-paced, team-oriented environments. 

To become a PCT, individuals typically complete a formal training program that includes classroom instruction and hands-on experience. Certification may be required depending on employer or state regulations, particularly for tasks involving phlebotomy, EKGs, or medication administration.
