Course Content
Our instruction is a review of human anatomy and physiology with emphasis on the blood and the circulatory systems. Special emphasis is placed on possible complications arising from human error when withdrawing blood and the proper responses to potential complications. This session ends with a detailed discussion of universal precautions. The emphasis here is placed on OSHA’s bloodborne pathogens standard that safeguards against the transmission of bloodborne diseases. We introduce state-of-the-art blood collecting devices and demonstrations of safe handling and proper techniques. Students are expected to participate in all laboratory demonstrations. Student participation affords the opportunity for licensed instructors to assess knowledge gained from the course.
