In addition, phlebotomists must be able to identify and select equipment, supplies and additives used in blood collection and understand factors that affect specimen collection procedures and test results. Many facilities also require the phlebotomist to perform electrodcardiography (EKG) tests that measure and monitor the electrical activity in the heart. The Phlebotomy/EKG certificate program at College of DuPage is an intensive, two-semester curriculum with classes in Basic Phlebotomy and Basic EKG the first semester, followed by hands-on clinical experience during the second semester. This certificate is designed for students interested in taking technical courses for immediate entry into a field of employment, and for current health care workers who would like to update their phlebotomy and EKG testing skills. The links to the right on this page provide detailed information about this program. For additional questions, contact coordinator Nancy Feulner, MT, ASCP, at (630) 942-2124, e-mail: feulner@cod.edu.
