Question by Kate_:
Careers in the medical field specifically involving bloodwork?
I've been searching and wondering, what type of careers in the medical field besides phlebotomy can you go to school for to work specifically with the blood, such as evaluation, identifying, specific diseases which involve the blod, etc etc??
I live in arizona and to become a phlebotomist (minus the prerequisites) the actual course is only 9 months. I would like to work in this field but would not like to spend more then 2-3 years in college to advance into this type of medical field. Any information is helpful!!!

A 4-year program to a job working with blood and body fluids to diagnose diseases etc. would be a medical technology or clinical laboratory science.
There is also a 2-year program that is somewhat similar to this but with less responsibilities and less pay, which would be clinical laboratory technician I believe.
The general category of what you are interested is clinical laboratory science, and you will find the kind of program that you are looking for at an allied health school. I think what it's called is Clinical Laboratory Technician. I've seen it abbreviated CLT/MT also.
http://www.allalliedhealthschools.com has a search feature to look for schools that offer the program that you want. Also you can try google, they could be missing some.
