PHLEBOTOMY
Clinical Education
The clinical education will be provided at cooperating hospitals or other health care facilities. The clinical experience and classroom work are taken within the same semester. Successful completion of the labs must be achieved prior to attending clini- cal rotations in the latter part of the semester. During clinical education, the student will rotate through the phlebotomy department. Emphasis is placed on attaining competency and pro ciency in the performance of phlebotomy procedures, corre- lated theory and practice and demonstrating prescribed professional behavior. Clinical experience may be integrated with seminars on campus.
Note: Students will receive information on clinical placement at the end of rst ses- sion fall semester. They are not expected to attend clinic (PBT 101) until the ninth week of the semester.
Academic Standards
The program requires that students maintain a high level of academic and clinical per- formance. Failure to meet these standards will prevent normal progression through the program.

The Student Policy Manual link may be found at www.southwesterncc.edu/program/ phlebotomy-certi cate. This manual outlines the policies and procedures to be fol- lowed over the course of the program. Students must sign the signature sheet at the end of the policy manual and submit it to the program coordinator by August 1 of the year in which they plan to enroll.
