What is a Cardio-Phlebotomy Technician and What do they do?
Cardio-Phlebotomy Technician
The Cardio-Phlebotomy Technician program at Phlebotomy Career Training combines the skills of a phlebotomy, IV and EKG technician. You will develop the ability to draw blood, operate EKG heart monitors, and interpret EKG test results. The phlebotomy courses you take teach you how to carry out venipuncture procedures, control infections, and collect blood and other specimens.
The EKG courses introduce you to heart anatomy and physiology, including diseases. You also learn how to use EKG equipment and interpret the reports and readings that they produce. In addition, you will learn how to perform CPR on infants, children, and adults. You will graduate ready to take on EKG and phlebotomy-related positions in hospitals, private practices, clinics, extended care facilities, and more.
One of the most sought after phlebotomist technician careers these days is the Cardio-Phlebotomy Technician. In fact, the training school in the Garden city of Michigan is now offering courses for this field. The program consists of six weeks of intensive study including subjects like anatomy and physiology. Students are also taught about heart rhythm interpretation, advance phlebotomy procedures, applying twelve lead electrocardiograms, knowledge of tubes, intravenous insertions, P.I.C.C. Line and central line flushing techniques. They will also undergo training on cardiopulmonary resuscitation with first aid through the American Heart Association.
Students will be given specific instructions on how to perform venipunctures. Each one of them is allowed to have at least twenty five successful draws under the supervision of a Registered Nurse or Certified Phlebotomy Technician. The schedule of sessions is different for beginners and advanced students. When the students are done with their twenty five draws and fifteen capillary draws, they will be given a chance to complete a forty hour externship with the local laboratory in town. While they are doing their externship, they will have the opportunity to work hand in hand with a licensed and experienced phlebotomy technician.
This experience is really helpful as they will be taught how to perform DNA testing firsthand at their clinical externship. They will also undergo intensive training on how to perform venipunctures to infants, children, adults and the elderly. They will learn how to enter a patient’s information in computers. After which, they will be taught on how they can process lab requests and results. And because of this hands-on experience, phlebotomist technician careers have a very high rate when it comes to students seeking the field of phlebotomy.
The fresh graduates of this branch of phlebotomy are lucky to have many different job opportunities on their plate. They have the option to work as a phlebotomy technician in the local hospital or laboratory. They can also work for a cardiologist since they have undergone intensive trainings that will be helpful in this field. They can perform electrocardiograms, assist with heart catheterizations and interpret rhythm strips. The graduates of the Cardio-Phlebotomy Program can also get a job in dialysis centers and outpatient phlebotomy laboratories and a rewarding phlebotomy technician jobs. There is indeed a very wide selection of employment for the people who have undergone this program
One of the perks that the students are blessed with is their instructors. These people have been in the field of phlebotomy for over twenty years and more. Their experience in the field and teaching profession is guaranteed to be of high quality and unquestionable. The students will undergo both hands on demonstration and lecture. The classroom atmosphere is guaranteed to be dynamic and challenging to encourage the students to strive hard and learn efficiently. The instructors are usually Registered Nurses, Certified Phlebotomy Technicians and PhD’s. These people will help the students achieve success in their academic and professional endeavors.

just wondering if you have a summmer class other than in june for Cardio-Phlebotomy Technician
I am currently working in a cardiologist office as a Lab Technician in Kingman, AZ. I am very interested in becoming a phlebotomist. I am finding going to school very difficult as a single parent. Would this program be able to work with my Physicians and office for all hands on classroom experience? Thank you for your time
Hello Renee;
You would be eligible to take the Telemetry Technician Course online. This program qualifies you for the C.R.A.T. (Certified Rhythm Analysis Technician)Exam. If you have done ECG’s in the past and can document at least 40 hours of work experience, then you will be eligible for the National ECG Exam, as well as receive a certification from our school as an ECG Tech. I would need to speak with you over the phone to address your specific needs and answer any questions that you may.
Thank you for taking the time to write in,
Many Thanks,
Nancy

Hi Catherine;
Our new phlebotomists who have just graduated are making $10 per hour with the labs where they trained, some up to $12. Home care phlebotomy technicians make $25-$30 per visit, I.V. Techs up to $20 per hour, EKG Techs from $12 -$18 per hour. Our combination certification entitled Cardio-Phlebotomy, will probably make more than all the other three. The Cardio-Phlebotomy Certification will allow you to work directly with a cardiovascular specialist and assist in the cath lab.
Very Cool,
Thanks for taking the time to write in,

Also does that include all your internship time as well? Will you be offering any evening classes forth cardio phlebotomy cert with all for tech certifications? Thanks
I just noticed the August 8 th date is that for the cardiac phlebotomy class with all tech certs? Is it 4 weeks? If so how and where do I sign up?
I am very interested in attending the cardio phlebotomy class and I would like to receive information and the dates of your up coming classes.
I was just wondering if my GI bill and military educational befits can be used to help pay for the Cardio Phlebotomy Technician Program?
Yes. We can present you with an invoice to be reimbursed by the GI bill.
Hi James;
Try contacting your GI Bill coordinator to see if they approve licensed proprietary technical schools. That should be your first step.
Best Wishes,
Nancy

Hello,
Is the certifications for Phlebotomy Technician Course and the Cardio-Phlebotomy Technician Course the same, in regard to Phlebotomy?
I called the school and they didn’t mention anything abt the $350 down and the two installments of $300 this is why I never enrolled I would still like to take the course this is a career I am very much interested in when is the next course start up
Who hires your new grads? Can you give me specific hospital names? What is the title we earn after program completion? Phlebotomist or Cardio Phlebotomist? Is there a state test we must take before we can be employeed? Thank you!
Nancy
I sent u a e-mail asking u when is the next cena class. Cause i think that will be better for me.
Erica
Hi Christi;
Wow, that’s a lot of questions. Well, let’s see, we have students at Providence, Botsford, Oakwood, U of M, Many convalescent homes (where we do our CNA training) they love us there, Dialysis centers, ER’s… and the list goes on. If you take the phlebotomy class, your certificate will say “Certified Phlebotomy Technician, if you take the Cardio Phlebotomy class, your certificate will read, Cardio-Phlebotomy Technician. There is no state exam for phlebotomy. Phlebotomy is a profession that is not licensed in the state of MI, and therefore there is no Federal or state oversight as to the required curriculum. (which is why it is very important for students to do their due diligence when they are searching for a phlebotomy program. Actually, our school is now currently working on legislation to have our phlebotomy program licensed. Hope that answers all your questions.
Thank you,
Nancy
