This certificate program will give you the professional abilities and knowledge needed to work as a competent entry-level phlebotomy technician. This role requires both clinical skills, such as drawing blood and handling other clinical specimens, as well as professional skills, such as high-quality patient care and the ability to ease patient anxieties during a blood draw.

“My experience as a student with Pima Medical was incredibly positive. My instructor clarified the content in ways that my colleagues and I could understand. She was very good at citing something that we just learned about in real-world application so it didn’t seem so abstract. I really appreciated the matching process to externship sites. I was looking for a hospital setting and Pima Medical found me an externship at Banner University Medical Center where I practiced interacting with patients and learned so much.”
