Savannah Technical College Phlebotomy School Savannah, Georgia

The Phlebotomy program at Savannah Technical College provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become competent and certified phlebotomists. The curriculum encompasses essential topics such as venipuncture techniques, specimen processing, infection control, medical terminology, and basic anatomy and physiology. Through a combination of classroom instruction, hands-on laboratory practice, and a clinical externship, students gain practical experience in collecting blood specimens from patients of all ages and backgrounds. The program is designed to prepare students to sit for a national phlebotomy certification exam, enabling them to pursue entry-level positions in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, physician’s offices, diagnostic laboratories, and blood banks. The relatively short duration of the program allows graduates to quickly enter the workforce and begin their careers in the allied health field. Students will learn how to properly identify patients, select appropriate blood collection equipment, perform venipuncture using different techniques, label and process specimens, and maintain patient confidentiality and safety. The clinical externship provides invaluable real-world experience, allowing students to apply their skills and knowledge in a supervised healthcare environment.
