Career Opportunities

Many people think of phlebotomists as working solely in a doctor's office or health clinic, but these medical professionals can work in many other arenas as well. You do not need to have a nursing certification to become a phlebotomist - although many nursing students do pursue this option because they need to know this skill.

Phlebotomists work with doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, blood banks, and even crime labs to safely collect blood for analysis and testing.

To become a phlebotomist, you will need a high school education or GED - no college experience is required.

In a phlebotomy class, you will learn how to safely draw, store, and transport blood samples. Some of your training may include:

  • Anatomy

  • First-aid

  • Lab safety

  • Labeling

  • Medical terminology

You'll learn how to handle blood in a safe and sanitary way to prevent the spread of disease, and you may also learn about processing blood samples with equipment such as a centrifuge.

We know how tricky it can be to fit school into your regular life - especially if you have a full-time job and a family. The National Training Institute for HealthCare Technicians LLC offers flexible scheduling options so you can get the education you want in a time frame that works for you.
