GENERAL INFORMATION
This program is designed for students with no prior knowledge of phlebotomy techniques and procedures. Anatomy and physiology of the blood and circulatory system, phlebotomy skills, quality assurance, and medical laboratory information are stressed. All procedures meet standards for phlebotomy training developed by the clinical Laboratory Standards Institute.
ABOUT PHLEBOTOMY
Phlebotomy is the act of drawing or removing blood from the circulatory system through a cut (incision) or puncture in order to obtain a sample for analysis and diagnosis. Phlebotomy is also done as part of the patient’s treatment for certain blood disorders.
Phlebotomists are trained to work with infectious specimens. When proper methods of infection control and sterilization are followed, few hazards exist. Protective masks, gloves, and goggles are often necessary to ensure the safety of personnel.
Hours and other working conditions of clinical laboratory technologist and technicians, such as phlebotomists, vary with the size and type of employment setting. In large hospitals or in independent laboratories that operate continuously, personnel usually work the day, evening, or night shift and my work weekends and holidays.
Laboratory personnel in small facilities may work on rotating shifts, rather than on a regular shift. In some facilities, laboratory personnel are on call several nights a week or on weekends, in case of emergency.
Laboratories and patient areas usually are well lighted and clean; however, specimens, solutions, and reagents used in the laboratory sometimes produce fumes. Phlebotomists may spend a great deal of time on their feet.
