Music in My Heart Specializes in being a Credible Source. Has 11 years experience. Nov 20, 2009 Take a look at the major medical centers. Our regional academic center offers continuing education courses that can be attended by folks from the community - we just have to pay for it.Search under "continuing nursing education."Regarding phlebotomy, you might start at the state department of health services. I found some training programs that way. Also, just go ask some lab techs at the local hospitals and clinical labs. They'll know where are the phlebotomy schools. 0 Likes
