Clinical Policy and Health Requirements

CLINICAL POLICY

Phlebotomy requires completion of educational experiences in clinical and lab facilities. Students are required to have completed a Federal and North Carolina criminal background check including sex offender and public protection registry, covering a minimum of seven (7) years (at student’s expense) prior to attending clinical. In addition, some clinical sites require students to submit to a drug screening. If a student is excluded from clinical and lab facilities as a result of a background check and/or drug testing, the student may be removed from the class.

Some facilities may also require additional vaccinations and/or health examinations, which may result in additional expenses to the students (depending on your healthcare provider). As a guest in the clinical site, students must adhere to all rules and regulations of the facility. The facility has the right to decide if a student’s behavior or performance is unacceptable and mandate the removal of the student from their clinical site. Program dismissal will occur for the student removed from clinical by the facility. In the event that a student does not complete the class due to being unable to participate or complete clinical, no refund will be made according to the NC Community College System policy that is outlined in the schedule.
