SEGUIN – Do you know what a phlebotomist is? The phlebotomist is a vital member of the clinical laboratory team whose main function is to obtain patients’ blood specimens by venipuncture and micro-collection. The field of phlebotomy has greatly expanded in the past several years, and the role of this integral member of the health care team has recently been brought into much sharper focus. The Center for Professional Development at Texas Lutheran University, in partnership with Condensed Curriculum International, is offering a 90-hour phlebotomy technician program to prepare students for entry level positions in one of the fastest growing health care fields.
Students will become familiar with all aspects related to blood collection and develop comprehensive skills to perform venipunctures completely and safely. Classroom work includes terminology, anatomy and physiology; blood collection procedures; specimen hands-on practice; and clinical training in skills and techniques to perform puncture methods. The program includes lab exercises, live blood draws, work with a training arm, and other exercises intended to prepare students to function as an entry level phlebotomy technician.
Classes will be held Monday and Wednesday evenings, 6-9:30 p.m., and three Saturdays 9 a.m.-3 p.m., June 15, 2009 – August 24, 2009. The cost of $1599.00 includes the tuition, books, and all materials. You must document that you have a high school diploma or equivalent (GED) to enroll.
