All students are required to practice performing phlebotomies until the required level of proficiency has been achieved. Students who wish to continue doing morning phlebotomies will continue to receive the stipend. Students choosing not to continue morning phlebotomies, after achieving the required level of proficiency, must inform the director of laboratories in writing that they do not want to participate in the phlebotomy program. After receiving this notification, the student will not receive the stipend. Service work is strictly voluntary.
Students choosing to work for pay, are hospital employees subject to all hospital regulations.
