About Our Program

Phlebotomists are specially trained professional members of the healthcare delivery team whose primary responsibility is to collect blood specimens from patients for diagnostic testing.

This comprehensive 197-hour program consists of 77 classroom hours and an unpaid, full-time 120-hour practicum to be completed at a local facility.

This program is a one-semester learning experience, designed to prepare students for an entry-level position in phlebotomy and laboratory support services.

Students learn through a combination of theory and laboratory practice, including instruction in venipuncture, skin puncture, special blood collections, specimen handling, and all regulations governing safety and infection control practices.

The 120-hour clinical field placements will be held as full-time positions following the initial 11 weeks of in-class instruction. The student's actual work schedule will be determined by the assigned clinical site.

This training course has selective admissions requirements with specific criteria and deadlines. Students must provide a complete health form including proof of immunization. Click here to review the Immunization Requirements.
