Mid's Phlebotomy Short-Term Training consists of nine weeks of training in a classroom, lab, and externship/clinical settings. This training often functions as a stepping stone into other healthcare-related careers, such as medical laboratory science or nursing.

Phlebotomists are healthcare workers who draw blood and prepare samples for diagnostic testing, and they function as important members of clinical teams. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, venipuncture and blood draw micro-collection techniques. The procedures are performed on patients of all ages at clinics, hospital labs, outpatient care centers, and nursing homes.

Mid's Short-Term Training prepares you to

  • Demonstrate knowledge of the health care delivery system and medical terminology
  • Demonstrate knowledge of infection control and safety
  • Demonstrate a basic understanding of the anatomy and physiology of body systems and anatomic terminology relating major areas of the clinical laboratory to general pathologic conditions associated with the body systems
  • Demonstrate a basic understanding of age-specific or psychosocial considerations involved in the performance of phlebotomy procedures on various age groups of patients
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the importance of specimen collection and specimen integrity in the delivery of patient care
  • Demonstrate knowledge of collection equipment, various types of additives used, special precautions necessary, and substances that can interfere in the clinical analysis of blood constituents
  • Follow standard operating procedures to collect specimens via venipuncture and capillary (dermal) puncture
  • Demonstrate understanding of requisitioning, specimen transport, and specimen processing
  • Demonstrate an understanding of quality assurance and quality control in phlebotomy
  • Communicate (verbally and nonverbally) effectively and appropriately in the workplace. 

Mid's Phlebotomy Short-Term Training fee is $1,575 and includes the required textbook and workbook.
