MLTK 1800 - Principles of Phlebotomy
(2L, 4LB) This hybrid course provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles, techniques, and professional practice of phlebotomy. Didactic content is delivered online, allowing students to build foundational knowledge of anatomy, physiology, specimen requirements, and collection protocols. On-campus laboratory sessions and simulation experiences give students hands-on practice performing venipuncture and capillary procedures using a variety of collection devices including evacuated tube systems, syringes, butterfly needles, and microcollection techniques.
Emphasis is placed on infection prevention, universal precautions, patient identification, specimen integrity, labeling accuracy, and adherence to quality assurance standards. Students learn proper handling, transport, and processing of specimens while developing the communication skills and professional behaviors required in patient care settings. Certification expectations, regulatory requirements, and ethical considerations are integrated to prepare students for clinical placement and entry-level phlebotomy practice across diverse health care environments.
