Phlebotomy Certificate
The Phlebotomy certificate prepares students to work as a phlebotomist. The primary duties of a phlebotomist are to obtain blood specimens using various venipuncture and dermal puncture techniques, facilitate the collection of other clinical specimens, and to ensure timely and safe transport of specimens to the laboratory. Phlebotomists may also be required to process samples for the laboratory, use computers when collecting or receiving samples and to perform some waived laboratory testing within a very limited scope of practice.
