Link to the RTC Phlebotomy Technician Program Blog
Setting
The Phlebotomy Technician Program at RTC consists of 28 days of lab and theory in the classroom followed by a three-week externship at a local clinic or hospital as a student phlebotomist. The only prerequisites for the program are that you have a high school diploma (or GED), pass a moderate background check and be at least 18 years old upon completion of the program.
Notes: Great disparity among students in terms of age, work experience, life experience, allied health experience, study habits, language ability reading challenges, VAK learning styles, connection to OER and ability to make multimedia presentations
Challenge 1
