Phlebotomy Course

The Phlebotomy curriculum is designed to prepare a person to function as a phlebotomy technician.  This course will provide the knowledge, skills, and externship experience that is necessary to safely and skillfully obtain a blood specimen from a patient.  A phlebotomist may work in a variety of settings such as hospitals, outpatient labs, physicians’ offices or clinics, or may travel to different locations such as convalescent hospitals.  Kirtland Community College’s phlebotomy course prepares students for the American Medical Technologists Registered Phlebotomy Technician (RPT) exam.
