Phlebotomy technician graduates: Where are they now?
I loved how this program gave me opportunities to practice what we learned in class and apply it in the hospital setting. It allowed me to develop my skills in communicating with the patient and other phlebotomists. As the class progressed, I became more comfortable and proficient working in these environments.

Completed the program in 2018 and has now gone on to attend medical school.
What I loved the most about the program is how the instructors work with you from the first day, whether it is by teaching, coaching, demonstrating, or supporting you by reminding you that you are fully capable of doing this job.

Advancement opportunities for phlebotomy technicians
To advance their careers, some phlebotomy technicians choose to get certified in a particular area to become phlebotomy specialists or donor phlebotomy technicians. With advancement comes additional duties that expand to non-blood tests. For example, electrocardiograms (EKGs) or sodium sweat tests. With additional experience and education, others become medical lab technicians, medical assistants, or registered nurses (R.N.s).
