Southwest Phlebotomy Certifications is a company that specializes in phlebotomy training. In case you have no idea what “phlebotomy” is, then that’s the technical word for collecting blood samples both from arms and from fingertips. And this company offers courses both to those who have never done such a thing before, and to nurses and medical assistants who want to improve their skills.
And in addition to showing you how to collect blood from patients, the company trains its students on connected topics such as bloodborn pathogens, OSHA regulations and basic venous anatomy.
At the end of your training, you will become someone with a thorough understanding of phlebotomy techniques, and you’ll know all there is to know about clinical safety.
You can register for classes online here, and then check the training schedule on this page. Note that when making hotel reservations, you’ll most likely get a discount if you mention that you’re going to attend a Southwest Phlebotomy Certifications class.
Classes and training sessions are usually held on weekends. Check this page to learn about the dress requirements you must comply with. Basically, you must wear either scrubs or shirts with short sleeves. Or a shirt with sleeves you can pull up. And no open-toed shoes are allowed. If you fail to comply with these requirements, you’ll have to reschedule your class.
