Phlebotomy Instructor Career
Are you a health care provider looking for something new to do? No, not a new line of work, or a complete overhaul of your career path. If you have at least two years of experience in a clinical environment that gives the opportunity to practice venesection, could work for certification as a phlebotomy instructor. Learn how.
If you are a health care provider with substantial experience in drawing blood samples because of your previous work experiences in clinical settings.
Becoming a phlebotomy instructor is one career option you can pursue. As an instructor, you will be responsible for providing phlebotomy students the theoretical background for the tasks they will be performing and supervising them in the laboratory or other clinical environment. You will be responsible for forming new practitioners in the field of phlebotomy, a practice otherwise known as venipuncture or venesection.
Phlebotomy Instructor Requirements
To become a phlebotomy instructor, you must, of course, first, meet academic requirements to teaching the subject. You must at least hold a bachelor's or associate degree in health care. Professionals of medical fields who have training in phlebotomy are usually qualified to teach the subject, but some institutions require that their phlebotomy instructors be registered, nurses or medical technologists. Of course, being a certified phlebotomist (also called a phlebotomy technician) qualifies you for the job. In addition to satisfying the academic requirements, you must also have experience in performing phlebotomy in a hospital or any diagnostic laboratory. The minimum requirement is two years of clinical practice.
Phlebotomy Instructor Certifications
Teaching experience is always an advantage in applying for a job as a phlebotomy instructor. You can further augment your qualification by applying for certification as an instructor from a nationally recognized certifying institution like the American Academy of Phlebotomy Technicians(AAPT) or the American Certification Agency(ACA) for Healthcare Professionals. Application for certification requires the submission of credentials and payment of a fee.
To get a phlebotomy instructor certification, you may be required to provide or submit proof of attaining a degree in phlebotomy, CPR certification (you can get CPR certification through the American Red Cross or American Heart Association or your local YMCA), proof of having worked in a healthcare environment, and proof of having worked as a teacher. You will then have to pass a certification examination. Requirements to teach vary by state, and so you might be asked for more credentials when applying for a teaching position.
Phlebotomy instructors find employment in vocational training centers and local colleges. Some health care professionals who have been practicing in their field for years pursue teaching as a new interest. They teach on a part-time basis. Those without teaching credentials or previous teaching experience, work as adjunct instructors, supervising students in clinical settings. A phlebotomy instructor can receive up to $40,000 a year.
