Phlebotomy Technician

Are you interested in a healthcare career that involves the collection of blood samples and facilitating laboratory testing? Access Careers offers a comprehensive Phlebotomy Technician course to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary for this crucial role. As a phlebotomy technician, you will play a vital role in collecting blood samples from patients through venipuncture or microsurgical techniques.

The primary function of a phlebotomy technician is to collect blood samples, which are crucial for various medical purposes, including diagnostic testing, transfusions, donations, and research. Additionally, phlebotomists are responsible for ensuring the proper collection and transportation of laboratory specimens. Often, they serve as the patient's primary point of contact with the medical laboratory, emphasizing the importance of professionalism and patient care.

Our Phlebotomy Technician Course provides a comprehensive understanding of the basic principles of blood drawing. Students will learn various techniques for venipuncture and skin puncture, as well as the identification of color-coded tubes for different types of laboratory tests. The curriculum also covers topics such as medical terminology, an overview of anatomy and physiology, infection control, safety measures, and first aid. The course aims to equip students with the necessary skills to handle specimens accurately, follow universal precautions, and employ isolation techniques when needed.

Practical, hands-on training is a crucial component of our Phlebotomy Technician course. Students will have the opportunity to practice blood drawing techniques on each other and, occasionally, on artificial arms. This practical experience ensures students develop the necessary skills and confidence to perform venipuncture and other blood collection procedures.

The healthcare industry is experiencing rapid growth, resulting in numerous job opportunities in allied health occupations. Many employers prefer or even require their workers to possess certifications, ensuring they have received proper training and are qualified for the role. Certification provides employers with peace of mind, knowing that their employees meet nationally recognized standards of competency.
