Description:
Phlebotomy technicians serve an integral role as members of the health care team. A phlebotomy technician is an entry level position in healthcare. Trained to collect blood specimens from patients, phlebotomy technicians are skilled professionals who assist physicians in diagnosis and treatment of disease by ensuring high quality of the specimen they provide for laboratory analysis.
The Phlebotomy Technician Certificate is a combination of classroom, laboratory and applied experiences that will provide students with training needed for employment in phlebotomy careers.

Students spend 100 hours at the affiliate where they must perform a minimum of 100 successful blood collection procedures, under the supervision of affiliate staff.
