Phlebotomy Technician Certification

Phlebotomy Technician Certification
What does a Phlebotomy Technician do?
The Phlebotomist is a vital member of the clinical laboratory team, whose main function is to obtain patient’s blood specimens by venipuncture and micro collection. They usually work under the supervision of medical technologists or laboratory managers. Phlebotomists
are employed throughout the health care system – hospitals, neighborhood health center, medical group practices, HMO’s, public health
facilities, veteran hospitals, insurance carriers and in other health care settings. The field of Phlebotomy has greatly expanded in the
past several years, and the role of this integral member of the health care team has recently been brought into much sharper focus.

Additionally, the college and/or clinical agency reserve the right to request that a student submit to a drug and alcohol screen at random at the student’s expense. Students with a positive drug screen without an authorized provider prescription or a positive alcohol screen will be removed from Brookhaven College WCE Health Program. Failure to comply with a drug screen request form Brookhaven or one of its clinical agencies will result in the student’s immediate expulsion from the Brookhaven College. Furthermore, regardless of testing or testing results, clinical agencies reserve the right to expel students from their facilities. The drug screen follows National Institute on Drug Abuse guidelines and screens for 10 substances, as designated in the Substance Abuse Panel 10, “SAP 10.” These substances are: amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine metabolites, alcohol, marijuana metabolites, methadone, opiates, phencyclidine and propoxyphene. SAP 10 test results that fall outside of any of the acceptable ranges are considered positive test results and are automatically sent for a separate confirmatory test by a gas chromatography mass spectrometry method. If these results are positive, the test results are sent to a medical review officer who will review the results at an additional cost to the student. The medical review officer will then contact the student to determine if there is a valid prescription for the drug in question. If a valid prescription exists and is verified, the test result will be deemed negative and acceptable. An individual with a positive drug screen will not be allowed to enroll in any health related continuing education courses for a minimum of 12 months according to the Community Standard. Prior to enrolling or returning to the clinical agency/rotation, a student must provide proof of a negative drug screen as verified by the college/school. Failure to comply with this policy will result in disciplinary action and dismissal from Brookhaven College. Criminal Background Check The criminal-­‐background check reviews a person’s criminal history at least seven years prior to the date of program application. The check will include all cities and counties of the person’s residency during that time period. The following histories will disqualify an individual from consideration for a clinical rotation: • felony convictions; • misdemeanor convictions or felony deferred adjudications involving crimes against persons, e.g. physical or sexual abuse; • misdemeanor convictions related to moral turpitude, e.g. prostitution, public lewdness/exposure, etc.; • felony deferred adjudications for the sale, possession, distribution, or transfer of narcotics or controlled substances; or • status as a registered sex offender.
