Lakeland's Program
Lakeland accepts four phlebotomy classes a year: one in the fall, two in the spring and one in the summer. Be sure to consider the time of the offering before accepting your assignment:
- Fall - HLTH 1240 is offered in the evening (8 weeks)
- Spring (January) - HLTH 1240 is offered in the evening (8 weeks)
- Spring (March) - HLTH 1240 is offered in the morning (8 weeks)
- Summer - HLTH 1240 is offered in the morning (5 weeks)
The Clinical Practicum
- Clinicals are four days/week, five hours/day for eight weeks during the fall and spring; and four days/week, eight hours/day for five weeks during the summer.
- The majority of the clinical opportunities are in the morning (around 7:30 a.m.). There are a few that start around 1:00 p.m. Times for clinicals are not flexible. They are firmly dictated by the clinical sites.
