Hands-On Workshops

Looking for a day-long hands-on workshop with a practical component? Our intense Phlebotomy Workshop provides basic venipuncture training to healthcare professionals who want to be taught with rigid adherence to the standards. The multi-media workshop consists of lecture, video, demonstration and one-on-one instruction using an artificial training model that simulates a life-like venipuncture experience. This workshop is not a substitute for comprehensive training and does not promise proficiency, but teaches the basics with a hands-on practice under the supervision of reputable authorities in the field of phlebotomy. Workshop duration: 6-8 hours. Click here for the workshop outline that can be customized for your specific needs.

Phlebotomy Workshop Fees: Up to 6 participants: $1200 plus travel-related expenses. For more than 6 participants, call toll free 866-657-9857 for fees.
