Notice of Program Closure
In keeping with its decision to focus on baccalaureate and higher degree programs, Indiana University Northwest has made a decision to discontinue the Associate of Science in Medical Laboratory Technology and Phlebotomy Technician Certificate programs. No further students will be admitted to these programs, and the last students will graduate from the MLT program in May 2009.
Graduates of these programs should be advised that academic transcripts will continue to be available from the Registrar of Indiana University Northwest in perpetuity and clinical files will be kept as required. If you need further information, please Professor Susan Higgins, Program Director Clinical Laboratory Sciences at 219-980-6923 or Diana Dicks at 219-980-6899. After May 2009 contact Diana Dicks.
Please be advised that the IU School of Medicine on the IUPUI campus does offer a BS in Clinical Laboratory Science and a BS in Cytotechnology. Students interested in these degree programs should contact the school at (317) 278-4752 or askhpp@iupui.edu for more information. Students can complete all of their prerequisite courses at the IUN campus before transferring to IUPUI to finish this degree. Students completing program requirements for entry in fall 2010, must apply by December 1st. For more details visit http://medicine.iu.edu/hpp and click on “How to Apply.”

DEGREE: Certificate
ACADEMIC FEATURES:
Laboratory scientists, technologists, and technicians require blood specimens
that have been obtained promptly and properly by qualified phlebotomists.
As an integral member of the laboratory team, the phlebotomist must be
trained in all aspects of specimen collection and processing. It is also
vitally important that this key person be able to maintain high professional
standards in dealing with patients.
To ensure that quality training is available to persons interested in
this field, Indiana University Northwest has developed a special phlebotomy
training program that combines introductory classroom courses with clinical
experiences.

The course of study is coordinated by the Clinical Laboratory Science
Programs and consists of sixteen weeks of didactic course work and four
weeks of clinical experience. Students' performance is evaluated both
by written and practical examination.
Clinical experience requires a minimum of 160 hours in a hospital and/or
various health service agencies.
R185 and S122 may be used toward other advanced degrees.

IL, 60631-3415, (773)714-8880. Program graduates are eligible to
apply for certification by taking a national examination offered by various
agencies.
CAREER OPTIONS:
Phlebotomists are employed in hospitals, laboratories, clinics, health
maintenance organizations (HMOs), doctor's offices, and similar settings
where blood samples need to be obtained.
The performance of a phlebotomy technician affects an institution's public
relations just as much as it affects the technical performance of the
laboratory.
