VI. . Externship
1. 40 hours of externship is a mandatory part of the Certified Phlebotomy Technician I Program.
Externship sites are determined for each student by the Externship Coordinator, and each student
must attend his/her assigned site. Every effort will be made to ensure that the externship site is within
50 miles of the school. Externship sites are scheduled during regular weekday working hours (usually
9:00 AM – 6:00 PM, M-Fri).
2. When a student has been placed in an externship site, their attendance is mandatory. If a student does
not report to their scheduled externship site, they will be put on probation unless they provide
acceptable evidence that supports their absence.
3. Students on probation will need speak with the campus manager to determine the next course of
action and pay a $150 reinstatement fee to be placed for the externship site the second time.
4. Students may arrange their own externship assignments. However, the externship site must sign an
agreement with AUMT before students start training.
