This is a two-part course in phlebotomy for research brought to you by the NC TraCS RCMU and CTRC. The goal of the course is to provide the necessary education and experience clinical research staff may need to complete blood draws for clinical research protocols. The course will consist of lecture, an exam, and hands-on learning. To successfully complete the course you must attend both sessions, pass the exam, and successfully complete three supervised blood draws.
Please note that practice blood draws will be performed on members of the class and all attendees should be prepared and willing to have practice draws performed on themselves. Completion of this course does not result in phlebotomy certification. Attendees who successfully complete the course will be provided with a certificate of completion to document research phlebotomy training.
