Some states may require additional licensure.
As part of the training program, selected applicants are hired as Clinical Student Interns. After training is complete, interns may apply to an open phlebotomist position or enter the float pool 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.
Applicants must be eligible to work at Providence facilities and eligible for WA State MA-P licensure.
