Overview
Learn techniques and procedures needed to assist with various lab procedures, including blood collecting and specimen processing. While blood collection has long been the responsibility of the clinical lab technician or technologist, phlebotomy has evolved into a full-time specialty profession with training programs springing up around the nation.
Realizing the great need for well-prepared phlebotomists, MSTC, in conjunction with area healthcare agencies, provides a less-than-one-year technical diploma program to prepare qualified phlebotomists to meet the needs of laboratories seeking skilled personnel.
This program features a 14-credit preparatory semester at MSTC followed by a three-credit theory course and a five-credit practicum at area healthcare agencies.
The Phlebotomy Technician program is a Technical Diploma and offered at MSTC's Marshfield and Stevens Point campuses.
