Students will learn to conduct tests on pulmonary or cardiovascular systems of patients for diagnostic purposes. During phlebotomy, students will learn to draw blood for tests, transfusions, donations or research. An EKG technician may conduct or assist with electrocardiograms, cardiac catheterizations, pulmonary functions, lung capacity and similar tests. A phlebotomist may explain the procedure to patients and assist in the recovery of patients with adverse reactions. In this program, students will learn and prepare for certification in electrocardiogram (EKG) and phlebotomy technician.

FastForward programs: Unlike traditional college credit programs, courses offered under these programs are designed to be completed on a short-term basis (weeks or months as opposed to one-two years of study). Students in FastForward programs also benefit from significant cost reductions. Subject to the availability of funds, students pay only one-third of the normal cost of training. Many students also qualify for financial aid (FANTIC) to help cover the remaining cost.
