Phlebotomy Technician Program

  • In the Chuck Shaw Technical Educational Center phlebotomy technician program, students learn how to properly track patients and correctly use phlebotomy methods (e.g. venipuncture, skin puncture). In their fields, phlebotomists are responsible for collecting blood samples in accordance with hospital and laboratory policies, and federal, state, and local regulations. They also are tasked with labeling samples appropriately and logging all information related to tests performed and samples taken into a database. Phlebotomists might be drawing blood for tests, research, or donations. Phlebotomists generally work in state, local, and private hospitals and laboratories.
