Phlebotomy Technician

This program is fully accredited by the Council on Occupational Education (COE). 

 

The State of Ohio Approved Phlebotomy Technician’s primary role is to collect blood for accurate and reliable test results. A phlebotomist can work in diverse health care settings and with all levels of health care professionals, from the physician to support staff. Employment of phlebotomist is projected to grow 27% from 2012-2022, much faster than the average for all occupations. Hospital, diagnostic laboratories, blood donor centers, and other locations will need phlebotomists to perform blood work. This course will provide the phlebotomy student with a working knowledge of collecting blood while emphasizing patient safety, quality assurance, universal and standard precautions. Lab time involving actual veinpunctures is embedded in each class.

 

In addition to the coursework, students must complete an 80-hour unpaid externship. The externship is scheduled after all coursework is completed.
