Phlebotomy Techniques Demonstrated by NACC Students

Pictured below are two students, Angel Chambers and Gina Appleton from the Northeast Alabama Community College Medical Assistant Program. They are demonstrating phlebotomy techniques with the use of their new blood drawing chair. The chair is made for the comfort of the patient so they will be more comfortable and relaxed during the procedure. It has an arm rest for positioning the arm during the process.

The Medical Assistant Program offers a thorough training in phlebotomy with one geared toward an AAS degree and the other is a short-term certificate. Both require phlebotomy classroom training and hands on training at a clinical site. After completion of this, the student is ready to take the National Certification Examination for the phlebotomy registry. Upon passing of this examination the student will be titled a Certified Phlebotomist. If you have any questions about the Medical Assistant Program or the Phlebotomy Certificate, please call Rachel Walker at NACC, ext 323, or e-mail walkerr@nacc.edu.
