Ok yeah, it does sound a little fishy when you hear that its a 3 day course that I found on the internet, but really, theres more to it. Its merely advertised on the internet. Yes, they do have an online course, which I can't understand for the life of my why anyone would do it that way, but the 3 day course is taught in person in a building downtown. You learn all the basics like how to draw blood on people of all ages, the correct procedure for filling out the paperwork when sending it to the lab, sterilization techniques and so on.
The reason that this course can be whittled down to just 3 days is that they just teach you about phlebotomy. I dont believe any sort of phlebotomy training is required in pre-med. When you go to a trade school, or a community college to learn and be certified in this, they teach you a lot more than just what you need to know. For them, its kinda set up so that they teach their students more of a variety of career options all at once instead of just what they're there for. So yea.
By the way, I thought i posted this before O_o. Sorry about that. Its been saved as a draft all this time -_-.
