NA 120 - Phlebotomy Technician Training

Credit Hours 3
Lecture: 2 Lab: 2
This course is designed to prepare the student in routine phlebotomy techniques for obtaining blood specimens for laboratory analysis. Instruction includes venipuncture techniques, phlebotomy equipment, micro-puncture techniques, infection control, patient identification and labeling of blood specimens. These specimens and other non-blood specimens are used for clinical laboratory analysis and thereby provide physicians with vital information used in making diagnoses, following progress and treating patients. Phlebotomists are in great demand for employment in hospitals, physician offices or clinics, or by commercial reference laboratories. Phlebotomists must be able to collect and process laboratory samples competently safely and in a professional manner.
Concurrent: Students must take NA 123 Phlebotomy Practicum concurrently with NA 120.
