OverviewEKG & Phlebotomy Technician Combination Program at the Medical Training Institute of New York provides students with an introduction to the theory, techniques, and roles of a phlebotomist and electrocardiogram (EKG) technician. Students learn phlebotomy skills, including skin puncture, venipuncture, blood collection, and quality assurance. Additional topics include infection control, medical terminology, quality assurance, principles of venipuncture, specimen handling, basic hematology, and anatomy of the venous system. Students learn about the cardiovascular system as it relates to an EKG's performance. Students gain knowledge in basic EKG tracing, rate, rhythm, common heart abnormalities, and the use and function of the EKG machine. PhlebotomistThe Phlebotomy Technician program will teach students the concepts of Introduction to Phlebotomy & Infection Control, Legal Issues in Healthcare, Introduction to Human Anatomy & Physiology, Phlebotomy Equipment & Supplies, Phlebotomy Procedures, and Phlebotomy Fundamental Essentials. This program is designed for leaner’s who want to advance their career or are interested in starting a career in the medical field to become a phlebotomy technician. This is a comprehensive 80-hour program. This course prepares students to collect blood for laboratory analysis. Students learn medical terminology, basic anatomy and physiology, infection control safety, communication, and professionalism. Phlebotomy provides opportunities for students to perform routine vein punctures, routine capillary punctures, and special collection procedures. Phlebotomy technicians also perform glucose testing and specimen collection. A phlebotomist is a health care professional specially trained to draw blood. The blood is used to test for conditions based on a physician’s orders, although it can also be used for a transfusion, research, or a donation. Some typical duties of phlebotomists include:
What Phlebotomists DoPhlebotomists draw blood for tests, transfusions, research, or blood donations. Some of them explain their work to patients and assist if patients have adverse reactions after their blood is drawn. Phlebotomists typically do the following:
Phlebotomists primarily draw blood, which is then used for different kinds of medical laboratory testing. In medical and diagnostic laboratories, patient interaction is sometimes only with the phlebotomist. Because all blood samples look the same, phlebotomists must carefully identify and label the sample they have drawn and enter it into a database. Some phlebotomists draw blood for other purposes, such as blood drives where people donate blood. To avoid causing infection or other complications, phlebotomists must keep their work area and instruments clean and sanitary. Electrocardiograph: EKGThe EKG Technician program at the Medical Training Institute of New York allows students to study electrocardiograms. The course will prepare the student for an entry-level EKG technician position. The course includes hands-on training along with certification preparation. Electrocardiograph (EKG) Technicians operate and maintain EKG machines. Significant advances in treating heart disease have been made in recent years, but treatment is most effective when early detection of heart disease is made. One of the primary diagnostic tools physicians rely upon is the electrocardiograph (EKG) machine, which detects and records the electronic impulses transmitted by the heart during and between heartbeats. This program focuses on training in the diagnoses of the heart rate of patients using the EKG machine. EKG Technicians are healthcare professionals who perform diagnostic tests that help doctors identify cardiovascular problems in patients. The tests can help discover any irregularities in the heart that could lead to a heart attack or heart disease. They work primarily in hospitals but can also work in long-term specialty care facilities or private practices. The EKG technician explains the test to patients before conducting them. Once the patient is on the machine, the technician monitors heart performance and the patient’s blood pressure. Other duties include:
What does an EKG Technician do?EKG technicians are vital to the medical community. Most EKG technicians begin their careers working jobs as health aides, nursing assistants, or while pursuing an associate degree in cardiovascular technology. They often work in settings like emergency rooms, cardiac units, and medical offices: Program SummaryWHAT YOU'LL LEARN

WHO WILL BENEFITThose Considering NursingIf your goal is to become a nurse, starting out as an EKG/Phlebotomist is a great opportunity to explore the nursing field. You'll get the chance to work alongside LPNs and RNs in a variety of healthcare settings, earning invaluable experience and skills along the way Aspiring Medical ProfessionalsWorking as an EKG/Phlebotomist gives many of us our first taste of working in the medical field. You might gain inspiration to continue that career path and get a more in-depth understanding of the medical world. It's okay to share this desire with your interviewer. It shows your dedication to the field and a willingness to learn Job StabilityEmployment of phlebotomists is projected to grow 22 percent from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations. About 19,500 openings for phlebotomists are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire. Employment Hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, blood donor centers, and other locations will need phlebotomists to perform bloodwork. Blood analysis remains an essential function in medical laboratories and hospitals. Demand for phlebotomists will remain high as doctors and other healthcare professionals require bloodwork for analysis and diagnosis. In addition to blood analysis, phlebotomists are necessary for blood collection, either at mobile blood centers or dedicated donation centers. These phlebotomists may be especially busy during a health emergency, which can correspond with heightened interest in blood donations.
