Phlebotomy

Phlebotomists are healthcare professionals who draw blood samples from patients or donors. They often handle and process blood for lab tests, transfusions, research or donations. They are a vital member of the clinical lab team who performs clinical, technical, and clerical functions. Upon completion of this class, students will be prepared to take the ASCP or NHA certification exam and work in physician offices, blood donation clinics, diagnostic labs, insurance companies, or as a traveling phlebotomist.

In addition to tuition and fees, students will spend approximately another $610 for the following: background check, drug test, physical examination, immunizations, online document tracker, books, uniforms, CPR, and ASCP Exam (national exam).
