Enhanced with a two-color design throughout, it introduces the latest information on universal precautions, infection control, and equipment. "The book is laid out in a very easy format. The photos and technical tips are useful in reiterating the text." -- Susan DeGirolamo, RMA, NCPT, CHI Institute, Southampton, Pennsylvania "In addition to our MT program, we train phlebotomists 'on the job.' This text will be used as a reference text for both the MT students and our new employee trainees." -- Shirley Replogle, MT(ASCP), Pathologists Associated. Muncie, Indiana "This comprehensive workbook is easy to read and each chapter contains an outline, objectives, key terms, study questions and clinical situation exercises. This format promotes learning and emphasizes key points. Speaking as an educator, I appreciate the availability of an instructor's resource CD-ROM. Useful and applicable to meet the training needs of in-house phlebotomy training programs, phlebotomy certification programs, medical laboratory assistant and medical laboratory technology programs. It is also a useful reference text for cross-training of nurses or other allied personnel whose duties include phlebotomy." -- Sonja Chamberlin, MLT.
