Program
The Phlebotomy Technician Certificate Program at Mayo Clinic is available to students located in Rochester, Minnesota, Phoenix, Arizona, and Jacksonville, Florida. Mayo Clinic offers the best approved training to become a phlebotomist. You will learn how to collect samples from patients and how to prepare these samples for testing.
Through this nine-week program, you will gain the knowledge and skills needed to work in an outpatient clinic setting or an inpatient (hospital) setting.
You can expect:
- A curriculum that includes a blended classroom and online learning schedule, with hands-on lab and clinical experiences completed on campus.
- A focus on real-world knowledge and application where you will draw hundreds of samples from actual patients, preparing you to be a well-rounded and confident phlebotomist.
- The opportunity to begin working in the field quickly with the potential to start a career at Mayo Clinic, where 90 percent of graduates go on to work as phlebotomists.
Our training is focused on developing Mayo Clinic’s future workforce — meaning after graduation, if students are the right candidates and positions are available, many of our graduates go on to work at Mayo Clinic directly out of training. However, you’ll be fully prepared for your first day on the job, wherever that may be.
Student Stories
What sets our program apart is the tremendous amount of clinical rotations our program provides, as our students perform venipunctures on actual patients both in the clinical and hospital environments. We have an extremely challenging and exciting setting for clinical rotations in which our students are required to have at least 100 venipunctures in the outpatient setting before we move them to the hospital setting, where students go on to receive even more clinical exposure.

What I loved the most about the program is how the instructors work with you from the first day, whether it is by teaching, coaching, demonstrating, or supporting you by reminding you that you are fully capable of doing this job.
