Phlebotomy Technician
Training Program
Program Summary:
As a Phlebotomy Technician the laboratory relies on you
to collect quality samples from the patient to produce quality laboratory
results. To do this, a phlebotomy technician must create an atmosphere
of trust and confidence with patients while drawing blood specimens in a
skillful, safe and reliable manner. This 88 hour course is intended for those who have no experience and want to become employed as a Phlebotomy Technician in a clinical laboratory or public health department setting. Students work in teams practicing on one another. Lectures include but are not limited to the theory, anatomy and terminology pertaining to the circulatory system, specimen collection, risk factors and complications and quality assurance in specimen collection. Practical instruction provides hands-on training in venipuncture technique with procedures verified through a skills check-off system. The 40-hour externship includes at minimum 50 successful venipunctures and 10 skin punctures. The course includes 48 hours of classroom training and a 40 hour externship to provide you with a complete learning experience. Upon successful completion of the program the student will receive a certificate. Students will then become eligible to sit for the national exam to become for a Certified Phlebotomy Technician.

Community Job Survey:
Starting pay $12-21 per hour. Job opportunities for phlebotomists are expected to be good as the demand for skilled laboratory continues to increase. An aging population will be a major reason for this growth, as older people tend to have increased medical problems that require lab work. The fastest growth in this field is expected in independent medical laboratories due to hospitals sending a greater amount of their lab work to outside facilities. According the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment of clinical laboratory workers (including phlebotomists) is expected to grow 14 percent between 2006 and 2016, faster than the average for all occupations.
