West Coast Phlebotomy Certificate Program
Applicants for the Phlebotomy Program must satisfy the general requirements for admission to the school. A pre enrollment interview
is required.
Phlebotomist's are essential members of the health care delivery team who are primarily responsible for collecting blood specimens
from patients for laboratory testing. Qualified phlebotomist's may be employed in hospital laboratories, private laboratories, doctors'
offices, clinics, emergency rooms, blood donor centers and many other medical facilities.
Classroom/ laboratory training is approximately 6 weeks in length and combined with an optional 120-hour internship that is
performed in a clinical laboratory or other health care facility to provide additional skills. Fine motor skills and mobility are required to
successfully perform in most clinical facilities: drawing patient's blood in the inpatient and outpatient settings, processing specimens
including operating mechanical and computerized equipment, and performing clerical duties. Good communication skills are critical
in dealing with patients, clients, physicians, nurses, and other health care workers.
Internships are limited and offered as sites become available. Students are not automatically enrolled or considered to be eligible
for the internship program. Students must meet certain criteria to be considered for any internship.(School has list of criteria)
Students must have complete documentation of immunization records, TB testing, criminal background check drug screen and
liability insurance coverage for an internship. Students must meet certain criteria to be considered for a possible internships. (School
has information and check lists for these). Students who participate in the internship must be available on a full-time basis for three
40-hour weeks. There are no evening or weekend internships. (Internships are on a volunteer basis).
Students who participate in the internship program must successfully complete the internship to receive a certificate of completion
from the school. Students have the option to complete the phlebotomy program without the internship portion and upon successful
completion at the end of the six weeks will graduate and receive their certificate of completion. Background checks and drug
screening will not be required if not applying for the internship program.
Students who successfully complete this phlebotomy program are eligible for employment at independent labs, hospitals, clinics,
various other medical facilities and are eligible to sit for a national certification examination offered at the school. This program is not
a guarantee of an internship or employment.
Health, Character and Technical Standards
WCPI must ensure that patients/clients are not placed in jeopardy by students during learning experiences. Therefore, students in the
phlebotomy program as well as internships must demonstrate sufficient emotional stability to withstand the stresses, uncertainties,
and changing circumstances that characterize patient/ client care responsibilities. Furthermore, the student is expected to have the
emotional stability to exercise sound judgment, accept direction and guidance from a supervisor or faculty member and establish
rapport and maintain sensitive interpersonal relationships with employees, patients/clients and their families.
WCPI believes patient and student safety is of utmost importance. Therefore, if the instructor believes that actions demonstrated by
a student in class or on internship jeopardize either the student’s own safety or patient safety, that student will be dismissed from the
class/program.
Applicants must be in good physical and mental health to qualify for positions in the health care field. Standards have been
established to provide guidance to students as to skills and abilities required to function successfully in the program and ultimately in
the phlebotomy profession.
