At Fresenius Medical Care, Patient Care Technicians (PCTs) do something exceptional: connect each patient to the best possible care, so they can live fuller, healthier lives. At the same time, PCTs benefit from many opportunities to learn, grow, and advance in their career, regardless of prior healthcare experience.

Make a direct impact on patients' lives, every treatment, every day.

When you work in dialysis, you become part of a community defined by care, connection, and commitment. Working closely with the care team and clinical leadership, you will help deliver dialysis treatments, support patient comfort and safety, and build strong bonds with patients managing chronic kidney disease.

Patient Care Technicians may have different titles depending on location — including Dialysis Assistant, Dialysis Preceptor, and Healthcare Assistant — but their work and purpose are the same everywhere.

"It's the patients that keep me coming back. Throughout the nine years I've been doing this, I've actually been attached to patients."

"I started my journey in healthcare because I wanted to make a meaningful difference in people's lives, and over time that purpose has only grown stronger. Early in my career as a PCT, I found so much fulfillment in connecting with my patients – whether it was making them smile, laugh, or simply helping them feel more comfortable during treatment. That experience really grounded me in the "why" behind the work."
