This "tech prep" state competency profile contains all the competencies required and recommended for entry-level employees in occupations in the health technologies cluster.

The occupations are as follows: radiographer, respiratory care therapist, physical therapist assistant, registered nurse--associate degree, medical laboratory technician, emergency medical technician, dental hygienist, health information technician, exercise technologist, ophthalmic technician, and medical assistant. The competencies categorized under units follow. Each competency is presented in a one-page format that indicates the unit, whether the competency is essential or recommended, the grade level (by the end of grade 12 or by the end of the associate degree) and the depth (introduce, reinforce or add depth, and proficient), academic code (communications, mathematics, or science related), the competency, and list of competency builders (more specific competencies).
