Course Description:

This is a 10 week course.  Students will attend class for six weeks of in class hands on instruction.  By week four, students will be attending clinical draw days outside of the classroom time.  They can expect to be at draws from 15 to 30 minutes.  There are two designated draw days every week.  Times and dates are subject to change.

By week four, students will begin to draw blood and practice their venipuncture skills on the volunteers that they bring in or on other students.  Instructors will supervise each draw and sign their log sheet.

Students will practice their venipuncture skills as well centrifugation during their clinical skill days, which prepares the students to work immediately after training as a phlebotomist/phlebotomy technician.
