The Certificate in Faith Based Phlebotomy: Skills Review program provides essential training in blood collection and sample handling, grounding technical proficiency within a Christian worldview. Students engage in comprehensive reviews of anatomy, needle techniques, and patient interactions through a framework of servant leadership, viewing each patient as an individual created in the image of God. This program emphasizes that clinical excellence in phlebotomy is an extension of spiritual formation, where technical precision becomes an act of stewardship over the health of others. By integrating ethical reasoning with safety protocols, graduates are prepared to serve within healthcare teams with compassion, integrity, and a dedication to the well-being of the communities they serve.

The certificate provides introductory academic and applied preparation for faith based phlebotomy: skills review-support, community-care, outreach, referral, and service-related roles. It does not constitute professional licensure or independent authorization to provide regulated clinical services.
