Yes. After training is complete, graduates apply to open phlebotomist positions. Some locations have float pool options where graduates may work as a supplemental phlebotomist until permanent positions become available. The paid position requires a 24-month work commitment as a phlebotomist at participating Providence laboratories after training is complete. Applicants must be eligible to work at Providence facilities and be eligible for WA State MA-P licensure if intending to work in Washington.
Washington State Medical Assistant-Phlebotomy licensure is required for all phlebotomists working in WA State. Interns
remain in Clinical Student Intern positions until WA State licensure is
active. Graduates who complete training in WA State are eligible for WA
state licensure.
Currently, phlebotomy state licensure is not required for Alaska, Idaho,
Oregon, or Montana. The program curriculum and training hours meet national
and state phlebotomy training requirements.
Since 1928, ASCP (American Society for Clinical Pathology) Board of Certification (BOC) has been widely recognized as the preeminent leader in the certification of medical laboratory professionals. National certification is optional in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, and Washington.
