The classes at Acute Healthcare Institute are designed to provide students with the necessary skills to become a vital part of any dynamic healthcare team.

Phlebotomy Technicians are medical professionals trained to draw blood using venipuncture. Phlebotomy Technicians are important members of the health care team and often need to explain the blood-drawing procedure and put patients at ease.

Acute Healthcare Institute offers a 4-week class, taught in hybrid format that is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become an entry level Phlebotomy Technician. In this class you will learn how to perform venipuncture (draw blood), capillary sticks (finger sticks) and how to obtain specimens.

During week 4 students will come for in-person, hands-on skills lab Monday—Thursday 8:30am-12:30pm.
