Confused about interview

I am currently a patient care technician (and nursing student) at a hospital that has separate phlebotomists so the PCTs don't have to, but a new hospital I applied to does. I originally got called for an interview a couple of months ago (when I wasn't a PCT yet) for an attendant position, but hat filled up so over the phone I told the recruiter I have since acquired experience as a PCT at another hospital so he gave me an interview for a PCT position. When I looked up the requirements for PCTs in the new hospital they require phlebotomy training as a pre req.

Would it be best to call him up and let him know this and ask if it would be possible to interview for any nursing assistant positions?

EDIT: actually the phlebotomy part/formal license is in the preferred criteria, not the required. should I still call him back and let him know?

    Are you a certified nursing assistant or eligible to become certified based on your years of school? If so, you can apply for CNA positions. If you haven't already, you'll likely need to apply to your state BON for certification.

    Keep the interview as scheduled. PCT positions have varying requirements per facility and even though it says you need phlebotomy experience in the listing, they may be willing to train you on the job. You'll never know unless you go talk to them. It's better if you disclose this after you've had a chance to make a good first impression in the interview. If you're asked about it, explain that phlebotomy was not one of your duties at your previous job, but you're more than willing to learn the skill.
