Phlebotomy

This program is designed for students wanting to complete a one semester Certificate in Phlebotomy and enter the workforce. Students explore the duties in venipuncture, capillary puncture, and special collection procedures. This program is designed to provide students with the entry-level skills required for a career as a phlebotomist in health care settings. Classes, labs and a clinical are usually completed in one semester. Evening and Saturday classes allow students to earn phlebotomy certification while working. Four agencies recognize the FRCC Phlebotomy Program, students may choose which agency to sit for their certifying exam: American Society for Clinical Pathologist (ASCP); National Health Career Association (NHA); American Medical Technologist (AMT); and National Center for Competency Testing (NCCT). Exam cost is additional and not included in tuition. Students must be 18 years old to be eligible to attend the HPR 180 Clinical. Students are required to have immunizations to meet OSHA requirements, current BLS for healthcare certification, pass a background check and 10-panel drug screen through an FRCC approved background check company prior to clinical placement.
