Phlebotomy Technician (PT21)
The Phlebotomy Technician program educates students to collect blood and process blood and body fluids. Phlebotomy technicians typically work in concert with clinical laboratory personnel and other healthcare providers in hospitals or other healthcare facilities. Topics covered include human anatomy, anatomical terminology, venipuncture, and clinical practice. Satisfactory completion of all program courses entitles students to participate in the American Medical Technologists Registered Phlebotomy Technicians examination and certification process. Some employers may require candidates to hold a Registered Phlebotomy Technician (RBT) or Certified Phlebotomy Technician (PBT). The cost of the examinations and certification is not part of the cost of the program and must be paid for by the student/graduate.
