A Degree in Phlebotomy?

While a degree is not necessary to become a phlebotomist, many vocational training institutions offer degree programs in medical laboratory technology, or medical assisting where phlebotomy is included in the curriculum. Phlebotomists should also be CPR and First Aid certified.

Phlebotomy Continuing Education

Certified phlebotomists must partake in continuing education courses to maintain their professional credential. Those that are already trained and employed in the field may also find that supplemental training is available to benefit their personal and professional enhancement, or to cross-train into another related allied health profession.

Those individual who have received vocational training which included venipuncture techniques, documentation, charting and infection control, or those who are currently employed in a phlebotomy position with at least two years of experience should seek certification. Certification provides industry recognized credentials and opens doors that otherwise may remain closed.
