Program name:

HI-6100 Phlebotomy Technician

Program description:

Phlebotomy Technicians collect blood and non-blood specimens for testing so the specimens can be analyzed in a clinical laboratory. Blood and non-blood tests are used to diagnose illness, evaluate the effectiveness of medications, and determine whether a patient is receiving proper nutrition. Phlebotomy procedures include verifying the patient’s identity to ensure proper labeling of specimens and entry of information into a database. Keeping a clean, sanitary, and safe work environment is important so the Phlebotomy Technician can avoid infection or contamination. Phlebotomy Technicians also assemble and maintain equipment such as needles and specimen containers. Phlebotomists work in clinical laboratories, hospitals, community health centers, nursing homes, doctor’s offices, blood donation centers, and other health care facilities. They are usually supervised by a Clinical Laboratory Technologist or other medical professional. In medical and diagnostic laboratories, patient interaction is sometimes only with the phlebotomist which allows a unique opportunity to positively impact patient experience. After completion of the HI-6100 Phlebotomy Technician program, students should be prepared to pass the Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) exam, issued through the NHA (National Healthcareer Association), and begin a career in healthcare. To earn full certification, students will be required to complete 30 venipunctures and 10 capillary sticks on a live person. Students are responsible for locating and securing a site to fulfill the clinical requirements of the program.
