Phlebotomy Program
The Phlebotomy Program is designed to equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge for a career as a phlebotomist in the healthcare sector. Through hands-on training, you will learn phlebotomy techniques, point-of-care testing, and laboratory processing procedures. Successful completion of the program qualifies you to apply for the national AMT (American Medical Technologists) certification exam. https://americanmedtech.org.
Prior to starting HPR 1020, you must provide documentation of at least 2 Hepatitis B immunizations. Additionally, you are required to submit proof of all necessary immunizations listed on the program-specific health form, along with a physician's approval to participate. All students must undergo a criminal background check and health/drug screening at their expense by the fifth week of the program, using RRCC's approved provider. Completion of all required courses with a grade of C or higher is necessary to receive the Certificate and sit for the AMT National exam.
Requirements for the program include being at least 18 years old to register and completing the pre/co-requisite course HPR 1040 Comprehensive Medical Terminology.
The program entails HPR 1020 as a 10-week, in-person class schedule, with sessions held twice a week from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Following the completion of the HPR 1020 courses, an onsite internship must immediately be fulfilled before the semester's conclusion.
