Phlebotomy

Columbia Basin College ETPL

This is a two quarter sequence of classes that prepares technicians for testing by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP) and employment into the medical laboratory field. The two-quarter sequence of classes focus on the knowledge and skills necessary to function as a member of the laboratory healthcare team in a variety of settings. Phlebotomy classes are scheduled for two consecutive quarters. During the first quarter, lecture classes are normally held two afternoons a week. During the second quarter, students will complete 120 hours of supervised clinical experience in 14 various medical facilities throughout the Tri-Cities area. These 120 clinical hours will be arranged by the instructor. Students will need to accommodate the hours of the facility and complete these hours. In order for students to successfully complete the Phlebotomy course work, they must achieve a 70 percent average or higher on the testing during the first quarter in order to go on to the second quarter of clinical coursework. Students that successfully complete both quarters will receive a Certification of Completion from CBC with academic credit and will be prepared to test with the ASCP.
