admin — Mon, 04 Apr 2022 20:27:12 +0000

Online Phlebotomy Students can now take adavantage of Phlebotomy Career Training’s Virtual Simulation Kit.

This kit is offered free to students who live in remote areas or are not able to find a clinical near them. Students may reach out to their instructor who will process their request. Once the student is near the end of the program they may request a kit.

How It Works

Upon receiving the kit, the students will send in their videos following the instructions included in the kit. Students may upload their videos free and will be provided a link where they can do so. Students are expected to perfrom their blood draws with the same level of professionalism that is expected from our in person students. Once the student uploads their first video, their instructor will review it and make any suggestions.
The student will make the necessary changes requested by the instructor and then proceed to their next video.
All kits must be returned to the school within two weeks of the student receiving them. Students are required to pay for shipping and handling to send back the kits.
Virtual clinicals has been shown to improve students real life skills and competency. Universities such as Harvard and Oxford also offer medical clinicals online and virtual simulation. Virtual clinicas are not new. There are quite a few onine learning modalities that incorporate 3D animation. However, Phlebotomy Career Training, takes it to the next level by providing students an actual kit with which to practice their new skills. There is only so much that animation can teach you. Hands on training is always better at allowing students to develop their skills for real life application. The practice kit comes with a phlebotomy pad that has intricately detailed veins that feel just like human veins. There is also tubing which the student can fill with colored water to simulate getting blood. There is no better feeling in the world than getting blood, even if it is from a synthetic vein. It is still a rush.

Top 5 Highest Paying Medical Careers That Don’t Require a Bachelor’s Degree

admin — Sun, 31 Mar 2019 19:53:57 +0000

The average student loan borrower is in debt to the tune of nearly $40,000. That amount of money could represent the down payment on a house. Instead, it’s a financial albatross weighing down the aspirations of millions of college graduates.

If you’re reading the headlines about the nation’s growing student loan debt and wondering if you’ll be in the same boat, we have good news.

Not only can you avoid burdening yourself — even your family — with so much debt, but you can also get an education that places you in one of today’s strongest fields: healthcare.

Here are the five highest paying medical careers that don’t require a Bachelor’s degree.

1. Ultrasound Technician | $65,620 per year

The Bureau of Labor Statistics lists this one as “Diagnostic Medical Sonographers and Cardiovascular Technologists and Technicians, Including Vascular Technologists.” That might be the longest job title in the world!

For brevity’s sake, we’ll call it “Ultrasound Technician.” You might want to call it a real opportunity since this job carries a 17% growth rate projection through 2026. The average such projection is just 7%.

2. Surgical Technologist | $46,310 per year

These surgical operation assistants can also be called “operating room technicians.” They get operating rooms and equipment ready for surgical procedures and help doctors during the surgeries. The projected growth rate for this role is 12%.

3. Medical Records and Health Information Technicians | $39,180 per year

Also known as health information technicians and health coders, these professionals help ensure that health information data is organized and well managed. If you’ve ever had a healthcare professional share a code number with — typically to check if your insurance provider covers a particular procedure — those are the numbers in which health coders traffic. The projected growth rate for this specialty is 13%.

4. Medical transcriptionist: $35,250 per year

Medical transcriptionists, or healthcare documentation specialists, transcribe voice recordings from doctors and other healthcare workers. This is the only role on this list with negative projected growth, with a reduction in such jobs decreasing by 3%.

5. Phlebotomist | $33,670 per year

Phlebotomists are professional healthcare workers carefully trained to draw blood. The blood they draw may be used for medical tests, blood transfusions, or research.

Jobs in this field are projected to be plentiful, with a whopping 25% projected growth rate, one of the highest available through the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

More Than Money Matters

Four of these five roles provide students a real opportunity for a long-term career in healthcare. And they do so without the often exorbitant student loans so many others take on.

Phlebotomy appears to offer the most solid foundation if you prioritize job security. That’s based on its outstanding 25% growth rate. Whatever path you choose, though, many pundits consider healthcare a growth industry.
