During phlebotomy, students will learn to draw blood for tests, transfusions, donations or research. 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 as a phlebotomy technician.

FastForward 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). These courses are tied to industry credentials. Students in FastForward programs also benefit from significant cost reductions. Subject to the availability of funds, Virginia students pay only one-third of the normal cost of training. Many students also qualify for financial assistance (FANTIC) to help cover the remaining cost.
