Students who are enrolled in a course will receive updates via email from the Center or from their course instructor. Required precautions may change as the situation evolves.

Student Testimonials

"I highly recommend UCLA's Phlebotomy program. Jennifer Tamor and Claudia Del Toro were my instructors and I still remember how amazing they were in preparing me to step into the medical world as a phlebotomist. After graduating, I enrolled in a Medical Lab Tech program to become a lab tech on my path to become a clinical lab scientist.”

“For the past 9 months, I have been working at Quest Diagnostics as a Certified Phlebotomy Technician I (CPT I). I just wanted to thank Claudia Del Toro for the phlebotomy program she put together at UCLA. It really taught me a lot and made transitioning to a full-time phlebotomy job very smooth. Her efforts and dedication to the program are not overlooked, and she has made an impact on my life and my pursuits of furthering my medical career.”

“I took the phlebotomy program to increase my skills for nursing school. My experience, especially being in hospital labs, allowed me to explore other career opportunities. I didn't realize until then that I liked working in a lab and I went back to school to get my Biochemistry degree. My experience with UCLA's Phlebotomy program was instrumental in my decision to pursue an MD/PhD in the future.”
