Garrett Regional Medical Center (GRMC) will be offering a new trainee extern program for patient care technicians this summer. The 8-week program will run from June 2025 through August 2025.
The patient care tech program is designed to prepare individuals for a future, full-time or part-time patient care technician at GRMC. The program will allow participants to gain clinical experience to jump start a career in healthcare through hands-on learning opportunities.
“We are really excited about our new patient care technician trainee program at GRMC,” stated Christopher Welch, GRMC’s Regional Student Coordinator. “This is the perfect opportunity for someone to gain valuable insight into the healthcare industry and earn while they learn.”
The program is open to individuals at least 16 years of age regardless of experience level, ideal for entry-level job seekers. This is a temporary 8-week hourly non-benefit position.
Welch added, “while this program only requires an 8-week commitment, this could lead to the possibility of a future full-time position in patient care or open up the door to other healthcare career options available at GRMC.”
The application deadline is April 7, 2025.
