Catalog description

This course provides the application of theoretical concepts for individuals in the health related industries who may be interested in learning an additional set of medically related skills. This knowledge and skill set is intended to enhance current job proficiency and for potentially increasing employability in an entry-level health related position. The course is designed to encourage phlebotomists, medical assistants, nursing assistants, and other health-oriented industry personnel to achieve competencies requiring basic laboratory testing as a part of the facility's services. Since students will be performing lab procedures on their own specimens, students must be willing to submit their own blood and fluid specimens for testing.
