Phlebotomy
Phlebotomists draw blood from patients in hospitals, blood centers, or similar facilities for analysis or other medical purposes. Students will learn the anatomy of the vascular system as well as perform basic phlebotomy procedures. Students will demonstrate basic point of care testing, such as blood glucose levels on patients; prepare blood, urine, and other body fluid specimens for testing according to established standards.

The class meets twice weekly from 3:00pm – 7:00pm. Students must complete 120 hours of clinical internship in a health care facility to qualify for national certification.
