Patient Care Technician prepares the student to work in a hospital, Assisted living, or long-term care environment under the direct supervision of a licensed nurse. This course introduces students to the theory, techniques, and roles of a phlebotomist and electrocardiogram (EKG) technician.

Phlebotomists primarily draw blood, which is then used for different kinds of medical laboratory testing. In medical and diagnostic laboratories, patient interaction is sometimes only with the phlebotomist. Because all blood samples look the same, phlebotomists must carefully identify and label the sample they have drawn and enter it into a database. Some phlebotomists draw blood for other purposes, such as blood drives where people donate blood. To avoid causing infection or other complications, phlebotomists must keep their work area and instruments clean and sanitary.
