Phlebotomy and Specimen Processing Training

Hybrid / Distance Education Program

The Phlebotomy (PHL) program will prepare students for entry-level employment in the healthcare field. Graduates will be able to obtain employment as a phlebotomy technician or specimen processing technician in hospitals, diagnostic labs, and physicians’ offices. The PHL program is taught using a hybrid/blended learning environment.

Graduates will be capable of taking a patient's medical history, performing blood and specimen collections, preparing blood and specimen collections for testing, processing lab specimens, and maintaining lab supplies and equipment. PHL Graduates will demonstrate behaviors consistent with professional standards and will meet employer expectations for an entry-level position.

Hybrid Learning

The Phlebotomy Technician program is taught using a hybrid learning environment. All hybrid courses will utilize online and in-person instruction. Lectures may be offered on campus or remotely via a Learning Management System (LMS). Most laboratory classes and hands-on training will be held on campus.

Online classes will be taught synchronously. Synchronous instruction is real-time instruction that requires students to attend classes at scheduled times.

Employment for Phlebotomists and Specimen Processors

Employment opportunities for certified phlebotomy technicians can be found in hospitals, private clinics, pathology labs, mobile labs, nursing homes, and even research labs. The career outlook in the field of phlebotomy is very promising. The field is expanding quickly, and job growth is expected to grow considerably over the next decade.

Many healthcare workers also use phlebotomy as a stepping stone towards a better career. It’s not uncommon for experienced phlebotomists to obtain additional education and training to become medical assistants, surgical techs, or cardiovascular technologists.

Employment opportunities for specimen processing technicians are also growing. Most positions are typically found in independent labs or hospitals. Some positions may require both phlebotomy and specimen processing skills, so being a multi-skilled technician will open up more job opportunities for graduates.

Certification / Registry Exam Eligibility

Phlebotomy graduates will be eligible to take the Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) exam offered by the National Healthcareer Association (NHA).

Eligibility requirements for the CPT credential are solely determined by NHA, and are subject to change at any time. NHA is an independent organization. AIMS does not guarantee certification/registry exam eligibility.

The Phlebotomy Technician program is a non-term program and will be taught using a block schedule. Students will enroll as a cohort and take one course at a time.
