Curriculum
The need for phlebotomists in modern medicine cannot be overstated. Between 2020 and 2030, employment for phlebotomists is expected to expand by 22%, substantially faster than the national average. This course is for anyone interested in pursuing a career in Phlebotomy. Following an overview of a phlebotomist's tasks and responsibilities, you'll learn about blood composition and circulation. Then you'll study how, apart from the heart, circulation is responsible for delivering oxygenated blood to all other parts of the body.
This course will teach you about all of the venipuncture equipment and safety precautions and guidelines to be followed, such as asking the patient if they have any allergies and avoiding the stated products. Precautions help ensure the safety of patients and staff. Next, we will teach you the procedures for conducting neat blood cultures and the several ways of controlling infections in the hospital, such as ensuring high standards of cleanliness. Finally, you will discover why quality evaluation is essential in the system and how to conduct it.
Risk management is paramount in healthcare facilities because it oversees all preventative measures implemented to reduce accidents. This training will teach you how to prevent accidents like needlestick injuries, which are the most prevalent occupational risk, and how to draw a blood sample from the wounded individual to test for infections.
