Phlebotomists are the specialists who draw blood from patients for testing, transfusions and other medical or research procedures. The Phlebotomy Technician program prepares students to work in medical offices, clinics, labs and other health care settings. Students will study the history of the field, law and ethical issues and the clinical settings where they will work. They will cover areas such as basic anatomy and physiology, medical terminology and infection control and prevention. Students will also study and practice skills such as blood drawing techniques, special collections, how to prepare or process specimens, and how to follow OSHA safety standards. The program includes participation in a national certification exam.
