Course­work covers vacuum col­lec­tion de­vices, syr­inges, capil­lary skin punc­ture, but­ter­fly need­les, blood cul­ture, and speci­men col­lec­tion on adults, chil­dren, and inf­ants. Empha­sis will be on infec­tion preven­tion, proper pat­ient identification, labeling of specimens and quality assurance, specimen handling, processing, and accessioning. Other topics include ethics and medical terminology. Once you have completed our program, you can apply for the Certified Phlebotomy Technician(CPT) exam with the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) https://www.nhanow.com/certification/nha-certifications/certified-phlebotomy-technician-(cpt).

Check Eligibility for Licensing Exams:

Students who have a felony conviction should check with the Program Manager of their program to determine if a licensing exam is required to be employed. Some examples include, but are not limited to, education, nursing, cosmetology, and technology programs. Legislative changes, specifically, HB 1508 from the 85th Texas legislative session section 53.151 (2017), require notification to applicants and enrollees regarding the consequences of a criminal conviction on eligibility for an occupational license. Students may be ineligible for an occupational license upon completion of a program due to prior convictions.
