Certificate in Health Science - Phlebotomy

The Phlebotomy certificate will provide the student with a foundation in health care careers, communication, soft skills, computers, and anatomy and physiology. Students will develop the basic skills necessary to perform phlebotomy procedures utilized in hospital settings, clinical facilities, and physician’s offices. Instructional methods will be varied including classroom, lab, online/hybrid, simulation/virtual reality, and clinical rotations, during which students will have comprehensive clinical experiences in medical laboratory specimen collections, transport, storage, and basic test procedures.

The Phlebotomy certificate may be an extension of the Nursing Assistant Certificate and Cardiac Care Technician to earn stackable, short-term, entry-level certificates in the health care arena. It is recommended that students complete 1 or all 3 certificate pathways (Nursing Assistant, Cardiac Care Technician and Phlebotomy Technician).  This allows for increased marketability and flexibility as they enter healthcare

Upon completion of this certificate, the student will be eligible to take the National Health Career Associations (NHA) NCCA – accredited certification.  Upon successful completion of this exam, the student will be able to work as a Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT)
