Phlebotomy Training In North Dakota

Turtle Mountain Community College’s Phlebotomy Program’s main mission is to deliver a curriculum-centered and high quality education in both phlebotomy practice and theory. Through the college’s phlebotomy program, students can be assured of their qualifications thereby enabling them to work in a variety of medical settings as an entry level phlebotomist.

Since phlebotomists are important members of the medical team, they need to be adept at collection of blood and non-blood samples while ensuring that the samples taken are of the right quality for the purpose of diagnostics and lab analysis.

A lot of medical personnel rely on the phlebotomists’ capability since they are on the front line. They work face to face with patients and help create the patient’s first impression of the medical team. Further, other medical staff (i.e. physician offices, blood banks, hospitals, clinics, and reference labs) rely on the quality of samples taken by the phlebotomist.

The main mission of Bismarck State College’s Phlebotomy Technician program is to deliver a high quality education in the practices and theories of phlebotomy. This is achieved by the college through the following:

• By providing a phlebotomy certificate course for students located within North Dakota and neighboring areas and enabling those who successfully complete the course to become qualified to take the national certification test.
• By training students to become competent phlebotomy technicians with the necessary skills and knowledge to provide entry level skills in all areas of the phlebotomy practice.

The phlebotomy program of this college is limited to ten students each year. Selection of student eligibility depends on the student’s academic preparation and early date of application. To successfully complete the Phlebotomy Technician program of Bismarck State College, a student must have a 2.0 average point grade.
