A Dialysis Technician is trained to be capable of handling hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis dialysis machines. They are trained on the preparation of dialysis fluids, as well as the washing and storage of dialyzers for reuse. A diploma holder is capable of setting up and operating the dialysis machines, mixing dialysate according the formula, and priming dialyzer with saline or heparinized solution to prepare the machine.
Students are trained to prepare a patient both physically and psychologically for the dialysis procedure by recording patient details prior to dialysis, explain the procedure and functioning of the machine, providing reassurance to anxious patients and then beginning with the physical care needed.
Upon successful completion of the program, students may seek employment in dialysis facilities, hospitals and ambulatory centers. Employment with vendors who provide dialysis products is possible as well.
In addition, students will be considered for inclusion in an unpaid externship, where they will have the opportunity to gain work-place experience at one of the industry’s leading dialysis centers. Acceptance into the externship program will be determined following a standard interview process. Please note: placement is not guaranteed and will be awarded per the discretion of the dialysis facility.
