Students will be given appropriate instruction in phlebotomy and will be expected to develop entry level venipuncture skills during the curriculum. Students should also be informed that although phlebotomy competency is required, students may elect not to be a subject for venipuncture training with no academic or personal repercussions. Phlebotomy training will occur in each semester of the two year curriculum.
