Program Details

The Phlebotomy Certificate is designed to teach the technical and procedural aspects of basic phlebotomy, including collection of blood specimens and venipuncture. This program includes both theory and hands-on instruction including the concepts of phlebotomy and infection control, legal issues in healthcare, introduction to human anatomy and physiology, phlebotomy equipment and supplies, and phlebotomy procedures.

The eight credit spring/early summer program consists of just three courses: an instructional classroom course, an externship preparation course, and a clinical externship with certification exam preparation course. The clinical externship portion includes a block of 100 intensive hours at a local clinic or hospital.

Successful Phlebotomy students will be prepared to take the Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) exam, which will enable graduates to enter a promising phlebotomy career or pursue further healthcare education.
