What will I learn?

Mid's Phlebotomy Short-Term Training consists of nine weeks of training in a classroom, lab, and externship/clinical settings. This training often functions as a stepping stone into other healthcare-related careers, such as medical laboratory science or nursing.

Phlebotomists are health care workers who draw blood and prepare samples for diagnostic testing, and they function as important members of clinical teams. Employment continues to grow fast for phlebotomists, and job rates are expected to climb over 25% in the next few years.Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to, venipuncture and blood draw micro-collection techniques. The procedures are performed on patients of all ages at clinics, hospital labs, outpatient care centers and nursing homes.

After this short program, you will:

  • Demonstrate knowledge of the health care delivery system and medical terminology
  • Demonstrate knowledge of infection control and safety
  • Demonstrate basic understanding of the anatomy and physiology of body systems and anatomic terminology in order to relate major areas of the clinical laboratory to general pathologic conditions associated with the body systems
  • Demonstrate basic understanding of age specific or psychosocial considerations involved in the performance of phlebotomy procedures on various age groups of patients
  • Demonstrate understanding of the importance of specimen collection and specimen integrity in the delivery of patient care
  • Demonstrate knowledge of collection equipment, various types of additives used, special precautions necessary and substances that can interfere in clinical analysis of blood constituents
