Phlebotomy training courses
During phlebotomist training, a
student will cover courses on human anatomy and physiology including the circulatory, respiratory, lymphatic,
skeletal and muscular systems. Phlebotomy training programs focus on learning about blood composition and
types, and how blood is affected by disease and infection. Trainee phlebotomists will also learn safety
procedures such as sterilizing laboratory equipment, disposing of contaminated materials and cleaning up
spills. They are trained in handling different instruments such as waste containers, spill kits, syringes,
dermal puncture devices, vacuum tubes, blood-culture bottles and how to make tourniquets. In case of emergencies,
students are trained in first aid and CPR. Another aspect is learning proper
bedside manners and communicating with
patients to help reassure them and prepare them for having blood test results.
A large portion of the students’ time
in phlebotomy training will be in learning practically how to use a needle to draw blood from the veins. These
practical sessions take place in professional laboratories with all the
required equipment. The most common method is
the venipuncture technique but trainees will also learn different methods for drawing blood from newborns, children
and the elderly.
