6-Week Accelerated Path

We Put the CARE in Career!

St. Luke’s has been delivering exceptional patient care since 1872 and has earned the distinction of being a trusted health care provider because of our quality, safety, and patient-centric care. We are proud of our diverse workforce of over 23,000+ employees who bring unique skills and experiences to St. Luke’s and provide award-winning care to our communities. We not only take care of patients, we take care of each other...like a family. At St. Luke’s, we encourage our employees to expand their knowledge and advance their careers in a supportive environment through growth opportunities and continuing education.

This path requires individuals to be hired as a St. Luke's employee. Once hired, the individual is automatically enrolled into a paid, 6-week program. The program includes five weeks of lectures and technique, and one week of clinical internship.

Employment is contingent on agreeing to a 12-month commitment to a St. Luke's phlebotomist position and the successful completion of the St. Luke's School of Phlebotomy program.

Our 6-Week Accelerated Path provides phlebotomy education through the combined delivery of didactic/theory in a classroom setting, as well as clinical experience in our outpatient lab patient service centers. All of our phlebotomy training classes are comprehensive and emphasize a “hands-on” method – each student will learn a variety of phlebotomy techniques in every class, progress to collecting blood specimens on other class members (with supervision), and then ultimately supporting patients at a patient service center. In addition, you will learn the “tricks of the trade” that will help with special patients and difficult draws. A unique feature of our program is that we also focus on pediatric phlebotomy as part of our curriculum.
