Health Occupations | Continuing Education: Dialysis Technologist

A dialysis technician is required to receive state certification. A technician may also seek out additional specialty certifications which demonstrate enhanced knowledge in an area of dialysis treatment. Some certification options include:

CHT (certified hemodialysis technician/technologist) 

CCHT (certified clinical hemodialysis technician/technologist)

CHBT (certified hemodialysis bio-medical technician/technologist)

Once candidates have successfully completed an accredited and recognized nephrology or dialysis program, they are eligible to take a certification exam to demonstrate their learning.

RCC's dialysis course is designed to prepare individuals with the theoretical, technical, and clinical skills needed to maintain equipment and provide patient care to those being treated for chronic renal diseases. Class format includes lectures, labs, and clinical activities. Successful completion of this course will prepare the individual for employment as a dialysis technician in hospitals, renal dialysis facilities, and clinics.
