WCCC Offering Dialysis Tech Course

PHILLIPSBURG (Sept. 17, 2015) – For those who are looking to break into the burgeoning healthcare field, Warren County Community College is pleased to offer a dialysis technician program that is the ONLY ONE offered in this region.

The dialysis program provides students with necessary knowledge and skills needed to perform the duties of a dialysis technician including operating a kidney dialysis machine, performing procedures, recording vital signs, and administering local anesthetics and drugs.
