Phlebotomy Technician

The Phlebotomist is trained in obtaining blood samples for various tests. These courses will teach the process for obtaining, labeling, and transporting blood specimens. The primary goal of the phlebotomy technician program is to educate students with didactic, laboratory, and clinical experience. The program encompasses emerging and innovative technology in preparation for a health care career as a Phlebotomist Technician. The curriculum is designed to meet the standards established by the California Department of Health, Laboratory Field Services, Clinical Laboratory Improvements Act 88’ (CLIA), and Clinical laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Upon successful completion of the course, students are eligible to sit for the National Center for Competency Testing certificate and are eligible for immediate employment.
