PROGRAM OPTIONS • 5-Day Accelerated In-Person Option: Students attend class Monday through Friday for five consecutive days. • Standard 8-Week In-Person Option: Students attend class once per week on Tuesdays for eight weeks. • Standard 8-Week Fully Online + Externship Option: Students complete the instructional and coursework portion of the program online and complete a required hands-on externship. ONLINE STUDENT FLEXIBILITY Students enrolled in the fully online option have the flexibility to work ahead in their coursework and complete assignments earlier than the scheduled due dates.

The externship provides students with practical, hands-on experience performing phlebotomy-related skills in an appropriate setting. PROGRAM CURRICULUM The curriculum includes blood collection procedures, venipuncture and capillary collection concepts, patient identification and preparation, infection control, safety procedures, specimen handling and processing, professionalism, and other essential phlebotomy technician skills.
