EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY

To conduct medical education in the context of service to medical personnel as well as the general public so as to train persons to provide this service with skill and competence to this and other underserved populations.

The Phlebotomist’s primary role is to collect blood for accurate and reliable test results as quickly as possible. Medical diagnosis depends heavily on safe and accurate blood test. The Phlebotomist is trained to perform such test in a manor that is safe for both him/her and the patient. The Phlebotomist will be hired to perform his/her skills in laboratories, clinics, doctor’s offices, hospitals, and mobile labs. You will work in close proximity with other health care providers.

COVID 19 guidelines: We are following the guidelines set by the CDC.
