Phlebotomy Technician
(IN-PERSON ONLY)
WHAT SKILLS WILL I LEARN?
Through lectures, interactive presentations, skills labs, and simulations, you will gain the
knowledge and skill to administer blood draws on patients. Techniques will first be practiced
on manikins, followed by practicing venipuncture on each other in the classroom.
In addition to learning the specialized skill of drawing blood and processing blood samples,
you will learn medical terminology and anatomy as it pertains to phlebotomy. You will also
learn blood sampling procedures, laboratory safety, effective patient communication and the
proper methods to clean up spills to prevent infection.
Once you successfully complete the classroom portion of the program, you will learn hands-on
through your externship at a local facility that draws blood like a hospital, physician’s office or
patient service center.
CERTIFICATION
Upon completion of the program and the required externship, students may take the
Phlebotomy Technician Certification (PTC) exam through the American Medical Certification
