MSTC - Phlebotomy Technician

Phlebotomists are in great demand across the country. The Phlebotomy Technician program teaches blood collecting techniques that include venipuncture, skin punctures and arterial punctures to provide samples necessary for lab analysis. You may also learn techniques and procedures needed to assist with various lab procedures, including specimen processing.

While blood collection has long been the responsibility of the clinical lab technician or technologist, phlebotomy has evolved into a full-time specialty profession with training programs springing up around the nation. Realizing the great need for well-prepared phlebotomists, Mid-State Technical College, in conjunction with area healthcare agencies, provides a less-than-one-year diploma program to prepare qualified phlebotomists to meet the needs of laboratories seeking skilled personnel.

This program features a 14-credit preparatory semester at Mid-State Technical College followed by a 3-credit theory course and then a 5-credit practicum at area healthcare agencies.

The Phlebotomy Technician program is approved by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences, one of only two approved programs in Wisconsin. Completing this program will prepare you for national certification as a phlebotomist.
