Phlebotomy<br />
PROGRAM INFORMATION<br />
The Phlebotomy certificate program prepares students<br />
to draw blood and prepare it for testing by laboratory<br />
personnel. The certificate requires courses in anatomy<br />
and physiology, CPR, and phlebotomy techniques, including<br />
clinical practice hours. Students who wish to be<br />
certified must take a national certification exam for phlebotomists.<br />
Passage of the certification exam (offered by<br />
the American Society of Clinical Pathologists) aids the<br />
student in achieving a higher salary and is a program<br />
expectation.<br />
SCHEDULING AND ENTRY OPTIONS<br />
Classes are taught in the day or evening. Two terms are<br />
required to complete the requirements for the certificate.<br />
Clinical experience in the second term will be scheduled<br />
at any time during the day or night; therefore, it is<br />
necessary for students to plan accordingly.<br />
