Students will be trained to perform a variety of blood collection methods using proper techniques and precautions including:  vacuum collection devices, syringes, capillary skin puncture, and butterfly needles on adults.  Both classroom instruction and clinical experience during a 100-hour externship at a healthcare facility will provide an opportunity for the student to gain the skill and knowledge necessary to take the Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) exam through the National Healthcareer Association (exam fee included). Note: Clinical hours will be scheduled during the day, and students will be placed in clinical assignments as space is available. Students will be required to purchase their own uniforms and have a criminal background check.  Healthcare providers and labs require immunizations and may require blood titres (at the student’s expense) for students participating in externships.
