Experience 8 Week Phlebotomy Training the Hybrid Way

Undoubtedly, 2020 has had a profound impact on the logistics of education.  Many schools and educators are turning to new ways of learning to better accommodate the changing needs of their students.. The popularity of what is often referred to as hybrid learning has grown in this past year.  Hybrid learning is an educational model where some students attend class in-person, while others join the class virtually from home. Educators teach remote and in-person students at the same time using tools like video conferencing hardware and software.  Heart to Heart Healthcare Training is joining this growing model with its unique blend of in person lab and online training to become a Phlebotomy Technician.

Hybrid learning offers the best of both worlds for our phlebotomy program. The online lecture and theory platform give you the flexibility to complete course work at a time of day convenient for you, re-watch lectures, re-watch demonstrations, pause videos and take notes at your own pace. Students come to in-person labs with a strong foundation of phlebotomy theory and can get right to work applying their knowledge through clinical skills.  Our labs give you not only hands on practice but face to face interaction with peers and the ability to ask questions to the instructor. Physical or e-books are available based on your preference.”

Kimberly Gabbard –  Phlebotomy Instructor – Heart To Heart

What makes Heart to Heart’s Phlebotomy training the perfect path to success?

The key is the perfect blend of flexible online learning and advanced real world laboratory training.  Essentially It is a hybrid class that consists of both online lecture and hands on in-person lab instruction. It is 8 weeks in length.  The online portion and lab run simultaneously. This helps you not only gain the intellectual knowledge needed but the real world skills that will allow you to thrive.   You will be completing online lessons each week while also attending lab two days a week to practice blood draws and get familiar with equipment used as a Phlebotomist. The online portion consists of lectures, supplemental videos, assignments and quizzes to help prepare  for the lab and an eventual career. The laboratory portion will be spent introducing you to the equipment you will be working with, procedures to be done and real life experience of drawing blood on each other. This will help you prepare for the job experience needed in various medical settings and for the national exam once you are eligible to take after the class ends.

Is this better than a simple 4 week phlebotomy class? 

Receiving this special training is crucial.

To be a successful phlebotomist it takes not only skills in the medical field that is learned through lectures and lab training but also those personal assets that drive all successful people.

Ambition or personal drive. Having instruction from someone who has been on the front lines with real experience can help cultivate this drive in others.

Communication. Being able to communicate well is also central for this position. Explaining procedures to patients and actively listening to them is critical.

Altruism.  The requirements for success in phlebotomy on a personal level are quite simple but significant. In general, an ideal candidate must be interested in working to help people.   You will be working very closely with patients, so it is important to have compassion.  Demonstrating patience and understanding towards patients is key.

Fine motor skills.  This  is a desired characteristic in a person who draws blood for donation or medical analysis. If you lack dexterity this will lead to unnecessary distress for the patient.  For instance, if a person cannot find a vein and inserts a needle incorrectly or multiple punctures are administered then vessel damage might occur.

Detail Oriented. Carelessness will not get you too far. Mistakes such as mislabeled samples, blood contamination and incorrect blood quantities can cause a wide range of hiccups.
