Phlebotomy Technician
About the Program
| 16-credit technical diploma A phlebotomy technician’s chief responsibility is drawing blood and conducting other specimen collections. The phlebotomist must recognize any conditions that might alter collections, correlate types of lab tests to the written diagnosis, and communicate with both the laboratory and the patients to provide the best care possible. Graduates of the phlebotomy program will be competent in multiple skills of specimen collection, have a strong medical terminology background and possess excellent interpersonal skills. Drawing blood from a patient for laboratory analysis, understanding lab test requirements and maintaining specimen quality are all skills phlebotomy students will develop. Graduates of WCTC’s Phlebotomy program are eligible to take the certification exams. Back to Nursing & Allied Health Center of Excellence |
