A prospective Phlebotomy candidate must demonstrate the physical and psychological ability to provide safe, competent patient care. Every prospective student must assess his or her ability prior to choosing Phlebotomy as a career. To understand the physical and psychological qualifications needed for successful Phlebotomy, the functional abilities have been listed below.
In the case of a qualified individual with a documented disability, appropriate and reasonable accommodations will be made unless to do so would fundamentally alter the essential training elements, cause undue hardship, or produce a direct threat to the safety of the patient or student.
Students must certify the ability to meet the functional abilities of the profession by a signed statement at the beginning of the program.
