CNAs Next Step: Become a Medication Administration Technician
Certified Nursing Assistants looking to grow their skills and take on new challenges can train to become a Medication Administration Technician, or Med Tech. Med Techs play a critical role in health care with rewarding opportunities for direct patient and resident care with meaningful impact.

What Does a Med Tech Do?
Med Techs vital role combines patient interaction with clinical responsibilities. They ensure the safe administration of medications and provide essential support to nursing teams. Duties include:

- Administering medications safely and accurately 
- Monitoring for side effects or changes in condition
- Maintaining detailed records of medication administration and patient responses
- Collaborating closely with nursing staff to provide comprehensive care

Why Become a Med Tech?
Advancing to a Med Tech role offers both professional and personal growth. This position provides greater earning potential, develops advanced skills, and establishes a strong foundation for future roles such as Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Registered Nurse (RN).
