Phlebotomists are specialized clinical support workers who collect blood from patients for laboratory testing. They

also ensure that the blood is collected correctly, because if specimens are harmed during the collection process, test

results may be unobtainable or worthless. Phlebotomists work in hospitals, commercial laboratories, private physician

offices, public health departments, clinics, blood banks and as paramedical examiners for life insurance companies.

Certification: A certificate of achievement is awarded to individuals who successfully complete the Phlebotomy classroom

and clinical portion. Students must complete 60 hours of classroom training in addition to 120 hours of clinical training

at a clinical site to be determined by the Program Manager and Externship Coordinator. Once the student has completed both

portions successfully, he/she will be eligible to sit for a national certification exam. A certification exam review class is also available

for people who already perform phlebotomy or who have recently completed an eligible phlebotomy program. The course helps prepare

you to take the ASCP Certification Exam. Completion of the class does not qualify the student to become a practicing phlebotomist.
