HLTH 1416 Phlebotomy CBE
This course consists of online lectures, laboratory practice and a 100-hour clinical experience at an affiliate hospital or clinic. Topics and skills to be emphasized will include terminology, anatomy and physiology appropriate to phlebotomy, phlebotomy techniques, one-on-one demonstration of blood collection, safety, quality control, specimen handling, communication, and attitudes and professionalism needed to be an effective member of the medical laboratory team. Upon completion of the clinical rotation, students will be eligible to obtain a national certification in Phlebotomy. As a Competency Based Education course (CBE), students’ prior learning will be taken into account, and progress during the online portion of the course will be based on students' mastery in a subject--rather than relying on a time-based structure. Each student in this course must have a physical exam, criminal background check with no disqualifying convictions, a negative drug screen and proof of various immunizations, including COVID-19.
