Section heading
In recent years, phlebotomy skills have become a requirement for employment in nearly all areas of the allied health field. This has resulted from the downsizing and cross-training needs in hospitals, laboratories, and doctor’s offices. If you are a person who would like to perform phlebotomy in your job, new in the field, has no experience or just needs a refresher , this professional class will meet your needs.
We will lead you through the latest venipuncture techniques and equipment in hands-on instruction that will spotlight universal precautions and infection control procedures, specimen handling issues and potential complications associated with blood collection preparing you for the national exam.
