Second Year Electives
Phlebotomy Training
During the Spring semester, 2nd year medical students are assigned an afternoon session to learn the skills involved in blood drawing. Students first practice on models; after they are comfortable, they then draw a blood specimen from a classmate. At the end of the afternoon session, students have learned the elements of universal precautions, they know the specifics of how to protect themselves while performing phlebotomy and they have learned the skills for performing blood specimen collection safely and effectively. The instructors include physicians from the KCHC Emergency Medicine Department and members of the UHB phlebotomy team.
