Eastern Florida Phlebotomy Program to Hold Orientation

October 5, 2017 - The Phlebotomy Program at Eastern Florida State College will hold an orientation for all those interested in the program on Wednesday. Oct. 18 from 6-8 p.m.

Phlebotomists are medical professionals who draw blood from patients for various lab tests and procedures.

EFSC's Phlebotomy Program is a 16-week course of study. A six-week mini-semester course with lab is taught on campus, followed by a 10-week, supervised 105-hour hospital experience.

The program currently is offered in the Spring and Fall terms. Upon completion, students are eligible to take a national certification exam (state of Florida certification not required). Students must be 18-years-old to be accepted into the program.
