Description
Venipuncture & Phlebotomy Course
A Basic Course in Phlebotomy, Injection, and IV Techniques
A basic understanding of general human (or veterinary) anatomy and physiology, especially the cardiovascular system, is required in order to understand and safely apply the techniques that the student will learn.
Every “simple” venipuncture procedure is, in essence, a minor surgical procedure governed by the basic principles of surgery:
- Have a comprehensive understanding of basic medical sciences, especially anatomy and physiology of the relevant areas and systems.
- Follow the basic principles of sterility and asepsis, including the use of barrier techniques.
- Take a medical history and interpret this information to modify your treatment plan.
- Use good lighting.
- Respect life and bodily tissues.
- Perform the procedure in a humane and professional manner.
- Anticipate the possibility of complications and deal with them promptly and effectively.
The Apprentice Doctor® Venipuncture Phlebotomy and IV Skills Course is not intended to be used as a substitute for clinical training. Instead, The Apprentice Doctor® offers a firm foundation so students can successfully master the initial learning curve in a non-clinical setting before confidently entering the clinical situation.

- The Online Apprentice Doctor® Venipuncture Course
- The Apprentice Doctor® Venipuncture Kit with a Venipuncture Trainer, as well as a variety of medical items for completing all the practical projects.
