Summary
Nashville, TN, December 31, 2022 --( PR.com )-- MAKO Medical Laboratories , a national full-service reference laboratory and national leader in COVID-19 testing, is expanding its accredited American Society of Phlebotomy Technicians ( ASPT ) training school for phlebotomists by adding additional training dates and options for classes, as well as a full-time class. It will include 14 weeks of class time and hands-on instruction, with the potential for expediting the process, depending on how quickly students progress through hands-on clinical days.“Without a certification, phlebotomists are hard-pressed to land a job,” said Tiffany Filbeck, MAKO phlebotomy supervisor and lead instructor for MAKO U. “I’m looking forward to pursuing my passion of teaching while making a lasting impact on students’ career trajectories beyond their certification exam.”In order to pass the program and qualify for the ASPT certification exam, MAKO U students will participate in two four-hour virtual instruction days per week, paired with online assignments. One month into the program, students will begin hands-on training by practicing on manikin arms before moving to the real thing.Students will need to conduct 25 successful draws before progressing to their clinical rotation where they must complete an additional 75 successful draws before then taking the ASPT exam for final certification. As more graduates return to serve as instructors, MAKO hopes to increase teaching capacity enough to open the program up to the public.About MAKO MedicalFounded in 2014 by Chad Price, MAKO Medical is a College of American Pathologists (CAP)-accredited laboratory that operates more than 85,000 square feet of laboratory space across three laboratory facilities along the East Coast of the United States.
