Phlebotomy Technician Program

Posted by NCE Edu on November 26th, 2019

The Phlebotomy Technician Program includes a combination of classroom instruction, labs and clinical training to prepare students to flourish in the field. Students train in small classes with instructors with years of practical experience. A Phlebotomy Technician draws quality blood samples from patients or blood donors and prepares those specimens for medical testing. Many patients have phobias when it comes to blood and needles, and giving blood can be the most difficult part of an office visit. The phlebotomy technician must create an atmosphere of trust and confidence with patients while drawing blood specimens in a skillful, safe and reliable manner.

Phlebotomists are the health care professionals who draw blood, ensuring that the proper amount is taken and that all blood is properly labeled.  Although their main responsibility is drawing blood and preparing it for lab testing, Phlebotomists are also responsible for collecting specimens of other bodily fluids for testing as well.
