This certificate program is designed to prepare students to serve as phlebotomists in a medical office, laboratory, or hospital settings. Foundational courses in introduction to medical assisting and medical terminology are required. Students receive lecture as well as competency based training in a variety of aspects of phlebotomy. Upon successful completion of the program, the student will demonstrate proficiency in venipuncture and other specimen collection procedures. There is also a non-compensated externship experience in which students work in an actual medical laboratory setting. Externship sites may have their own requirements that students must meet prior to their externship experience. Students must provide appropriate health records that include a history and physical, required immunizations and a negative TB test prior to externship. A mandatory meeting is scheduled the week before the externship semester begins.
