MDLT 2200 — Phlebotomy Externship
Phlebotomy Technician Externship consists of 120 contact hours of supervised practice of phlebotomy at an affiliated hospital, private laboratory or clinic. Learning activities are specifically planned and implemented at the clinical affiliated site. Student clinical experience is standardized using a checklist. Fine motor skills and some mobility are required for students to successfully perform in most clinical facilities: drawing patient's blood in the inpatient and outpatient settings, processing specimens including operating mechanical and computerized equipment and performing clerical duties. Good communication skills are critical in dealing with patients, clients, physicians, nurses and other health care workers.
