Phlebotomy Technician
Phlebotomy technicians, or phlebotomists, obtain and prepare specimens for laboratory processing. Phlebotomists are traditionally associated with drawing and preparing blood in hospitals, clinics or physician’s offices. However, phlebotomists can be employed in a wide variety of fields that work with any bodily fluids that can be laboratory tested. They are skilled with collecting blood via venipuncture, finger pricks and heel pricks for infants.
In our noncredit, short-term training phlebotomy technician program, you will:
- Train with industry professionals to learn best practices in the field
- Gain the professional skills needed to function as a phlebotomist
- Learn the foundations of anatomy and physiology, venipuncture techniques, specimen processing, nonblood specimens, safety, infection control and proper handling techniques
- Complete an 100-hour externship at a healthcare facility
- Prepare to pass the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) Phlebotomy Technician certification examination
