Patient Care Technician and Medical Assistant Training Assessment Process

Each candidate undergoes a comprehensive assessment process to determine their fit for healthcare, as well as their academic and employment readiness.

Health Career Readiness Assessment (HCRA)

The HCRA by JobFitSolutions is a behavioral-based fit assessment that provides objective information to determine if individuals are a good fit for the healthcare industry. The assessment compares a candidate's behavioral aptitude with thousands of top-performing healthcare workers to identify strengths and potential areas of concern. Each candidate is assigned an Overall Fit score ranging between 0-10. A score of 4.0 or higher is required to be eligible for the STLCC Patient Care Technician or Medical Assistant training program.

ACT WorkKeys? Assessment

The ACT WorkKeys? assessments measure the foundational skills required for success in the workplace. Each assessment is web-based and takes approximately 1 hour to complete.

Applied Math - measures critical thinking, mathematical reasoning, and problem solving techniques. Graphic Literacy - measures the skill needed to locate, make, and use information from workplace

graphics such as charts, graphs and diagrams. Workplace Documents - measures the skills people use when they read and use written text such as

memos, letters, directions, signs, notices, bulletins, policies, and regulations on the job.
