Phlebotomy Technician

The CVCC Phlebotomy Technician 40-Hour Program is designed to prepare students to be professional phlebotomy technicians dedicated to safely collecting venous and dermal blood specimens for laboratory testing. In addition to the classroom training, students will participate in clinical training to be completed in an accredited laboratory at a local medical center. The program prepares graduates to sit for the ASCP-BOC national certification exam in Phlebotomy. Graduates are equipped to prepare the patient, perform venipuncture and dermal blood collection, maintain the quality of the specimen and assist with collection of other non-blood specimens in a variety of settings. The accrediting agency is the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP).
