Why Choose a career as a  Phlebotomy Technician at Phlebotomy Career Training?

Our graduates become leaders in the field of phlebotomy and are more aware of infection control guidelines using the new sterile technique taught by Professor Kimmel.  Students are given 25 live venipunctures at PCT .  Each of the student’s are given personal one on one supervision and instruction by a registered nurse and certified phlebotomy technician.   Graduating students are then are evaluated to determine their eligibility to attend  a 40 externship at a local laboratory.  Many schools profess to have externships, but after the student enrolls they are told they must find their own experience.  This is almost impossible.  At PCT, we understand the need for experience.  Our students get to work one on one with experienced phlebotomists in a real life laboratory for forty hours.  This experience is very valuable.  Many graduates of PCT get hired after completing their externship.  Our students are working at many of the dialysis clinics in the metro Detroit area, labs, hospitals and blood banks.  These jobs will only hire students who are skilled and prepared in the field of phlebotomy, patient assessment and intravenous insertion.  PCT students are given the opportunity to expand their skills not only in phlebotomy but in  glucometer testing (diabetes blood sugar testing) and taking blood pressures .  Skilled patient assessment techniques set our student’s above the rest.

GET INSTRUCTION FROM QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS!

PCT has raised the bar on teaching phlebotomy.  We are the only school that teaches the sterile technique which is a similar technique that surgeons use in the operating room.  The instructor, Nancy Kimmel is a Registered Nurse who holds a Certification as a Phlebotomy Instructor from the American Certification Agency for Healthcare Professionals (ACA) and a PhD.  Dr. Kimmel is re-writing the curriculum on phlebotomy in America and offers students a comprehensive online “Black Board” based class.

A Certificate for Phlebotomy Technician is awarded to our graduate students by our school which is licensed by the State of Michigan.  Student’s may also take the ASCP upon successful completion of their 100 draw externship.

OUR STUDENTS GET JOBS!

We are pleased to announce that we have placed over 95% of all students in their clinical externships.  Also are students have been hired at many of the dialysis clinics, hospitals and blood banks.  PCT helps students with their resumes and provide students with job leads.  Many hospitals and agencies come to our school and recruit our students right from the classroom.
