Pre-apprenticeship program for high school seniors. The Phlebotomy Technician course prepares students for national certification and entry level employment by covering topics to include OSHA, CLIA, HIPAA, and CDC standards, therapeutic communication techniques, law and ethics, medical terminology, and anatomy and physiology. Students develop proficiency in phlebotomy and dermal puncture as well as specimen collection and testing for health maintenance and disease prevention.
The Phlebotomy course is a none credit program, but students will have the opportunity to prepare for and take the nationally recognized exam to become a Certified Phlebotomy Technician once they have passed the initial coursework with a grade of 70% or higher.
This is also a great pathway for students looking to pursue other healthcare professions in the future.
