Phlebotomy Technician

This is a 4 week class designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become an entry level Phlebotomy Technician. In this class you will learn how to perform venipuncture (draw blood) and capillary sticks (finger sticks) and how to obtain specimens.

During weeks 1-3 students will complete assignments at home and come for in-person, hands-on lab every Thursday 8:30am-12:30pm. During week 4 students will come for in-person, hands-on lab Mon-Thurs 8:30am-12:30pm.
