Clinical Training

The UIC Center for Clinical and Translational Science’s Clinical Research Center (CRC) currently offers the following trainings: Phlebotomy, Vitals/Anthropometrics, and Basic Laboratory Processing. These trainings are offered to all UIC faculty, staff, and students who are affiliated with a research study.

There is a class fee associated with each of these trainings. You will be asked to provide a departmental C-FOAP account in the survey (2-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX) which will be used to charge the class fee upon completion of your attendance to the training course. If you have any questions regarding providing this C-FOAP you can contact the CRC.

Training Requirements

There are two parts to the Phlebotomy Training provided by the CCTS Clinical Research Center (CRC). The phlebotomy training is offered monthly.

Part 1: 2 Hour In-person Class

Part 2: Student Observation

The student must complete a minimum of 5 observed blood draws under the direction of the CRC Phlebotomy Team. The time to complete the observation portion varies from student to student depending upon the student’s comfort level and proficiency at managing the information and skills learned during the in-person class. Students must make arrangements to return to the CRC with their own volunteers to complete the observation portion.
