"After working as a Patient Care Technician for five years, I believe the top three skills one needs to be excellent at this job are compassion, communication, and interpersonal skills. When working in healthcare, compassion is needed as we work with sick patients and concerned loved ones. Written and verbal communication is essential when writing reports, documenting patient care and speaking with patients and family members. Excellent Patient Care Technicians can work with diverse groups, actively listen to their patients, and show leadership even when not in a leadership position."
