Phlebotomy Short-Term Technical Certificate

|
The Phlebotomy Short-Term Technical Certificate is for students wishing to pursue a career working with patients in a health care setting. Phlebotomists are trained to collect blood and other biological samples using a variety of equipment and techniques and work directly with patients to obtain samples for analysis. Students will gain other valuable skills necessary for success in the field, including computer usage, medical terminology and laboratory procedures. Students in this program should possess good communication skills, patience, teamwork, attention to detail and the manual dexterity required to perform the essential duties of this delicate job. Students will demonstrate and perfect these competencies during an internship experience, which caps off this certificate-granting program.
