Essential Skills and Functional Abilities
Candidates for the phlebotomy program must have certain essential skills and functional abilities. If a candidate believes that they do not possess one or more of these skills or abilities without accommodations, the phlebotomy program must determine, on an individual basis, whether a reasonable accommodation can be made.
Essential skills and abilities are performance requirements that refer to those physical, cognitive, and behavioral skills and abilities required for satisfactory completion of all aspects of a Phlebotomy program curriculum, and the development of personal attributes required of all students at graduation.
The essential skills required by the curriculum areas are listed below. These are skills each phlebotomist must possess, and the use of a third party for the fulfillment of these attributes is not adequate.
Motor Skills
Candidates must have the physical dexterity to master the technical and procedural aspects necessary to carry out required phlebotomy techniques and perform patient care. They must have adequate physical stamina and energy to carry out taxing duties that may involve sitting or standing for long periods. Students must have adequate muscle function and dexterity to walk, stand, bend, lift, move patients, and provide emergency treatment to patients. They must also possess the motor skills sufficient to handle small equipment.
Sensory Abilities
Candidates must be able to gather information using all senses, especially sight, hearing, and manual dexterity, to perform Phlebotomy procedures.
Communication Skills
Candidates must be able to communicate effectively with patients, including gathering information appropriately, explaining medical information in a patient-centered manner, listening effectively, recognizing, acknowledging, and responding to emotions, and exhibiting sensitivity to social and cultural differences. Candidates must be able to communicate effectively in English with accuracy, clarity, and efficiency with patients, their families, and other members of the healthcare team (including spoken and non-verbal communication, such as interpretation of facial expressions and other body language) and work cooperatively with instructors and other students.
Intellectual Abilities
Candidates must be able to comprehend and learn factual knowledge from readings and didactic presentations, gather information independently, and analyze and synthesize learned material.
