SOUTH LAKE TAHOE

Barton Health is expanding its allied health programs, with the addition of a 12-week Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT I) course, furthering its commitment to developing healthcare careers within the Lake Tahoe community. 

Through the course, students are prepared to perform essential clinical and technical skills to safely collect and process blood in a clinical setting. Upon successful completion, students are eligible to take the national certifying exam for phlebotomists and apply for state licensure. This CPT I license allows individuals to work in various medical settings across California.

Barton’s allied health programs now include a 10-week Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Program that prepares students to perform a variety of clinical duties in Skilled Nursing Facilities and Long-Term Care environments; a 16-week Medical Assistant (MA) Program, which trains students to perform clinical and administrative duties in various healthcare settings; and the Certified Phlebotomy Technician program.  

The CPT I course runs from Sept. 28 to Dec. 23 and includes both classroom instruction and a clinical externship. The application deadline is July 20. To explore Barton Health’s allied health programs, including application details and additional program information, visit bartonhealth.org.
