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.
