Re: How to get trains as a med tech
I work in for a company that has several developmentally disabled group homes. and an Assisted Living.
The only two environments that I know of where med techs are used are:
Assisted Living Facilities (not long term cares, there is a difference)
Disabled Group Homes
Either of these places will hire you and train you. However, in disabled group homes you are not called med techs per se, but "Direct Care Staff"
Also, in the place I work, you do not strictly pass meds, you also assist with activities of daily living, including getting them showered, dressed, etc.
Med techs do not make very much money, you actually would probably make more as a CNA. I know most of the people I train start at around 7.35 an/hr or so and I live in Riverside. Orange County probably does pay more though because of the cost of living difference.
You can PM if you have any other questions.
