The Center for Phlebotomy Education is founded to respond to the increased risk all healthcare workers assume when assigned phlebotomy responsibilities. We achieve our mission by developing educational programs on all aspect of blood collection procedures. Phlebotomy Technician Program is offered twice each year. The program is 12 weeks in length and consists of two on-campus phlebotomy classes and clinical training in local hospitals and health care facilities. A certificate is awarded upon successful completion of the program.
Graduates are eligible to write any of the national certifying examinations for Phlebotomists.
The Phlebotomy curriculum prepares individuals to obtain blood and other specimens for the purpose of laboratory analysis. Course work includes proper specimen collection and handling, communication skills, and maintaining patient data. Graduates may qualify for employment in hospitals, clinics, physician's offices, and other health care settings and may be eligible for national certification as phlebotomy technicians. Founded in 1963, Carteret Community College is one of 59 institutions comprising the N.C. Community College System. Read about their Phlebotomy Program .
