Full course description
Your phlebotomy experience can be the foundation for what comes next.
Career growth in healthcare doesn’t have just one path. You may want to build on your phlebotomy experience, expand your responsibilities, develop new skills, earn an additional credential, explore opportunities with your current employer, or prepare for another healthcare career. Knowing how to evaluate those options can help you make informed decisions about where to invest your time, effort, and resources.
This self-paced course guides you step-by-step through exploring healthcare career pathways and creating a realistic plan for your next career move. You’ll start by identifying the transferable skills and experience you already have, then explore career-growth opportunities based on your interests, preferred work, and professional goals.
You’ll learn how to research and compare healthcare opportunities, understand required and preferred qualifications, identify skill or qualification gaps, and determine whether additional experience, training, education, credentials, or licensure may be needed. You’ll also explore workplace opportunities, professional development, time-management strategies, and financial resources that may help make career growth more achievable.
Through interactive scenarios, practical career research, reflection, and action planning, you’ll put these skills into practice and develop your own Career Pathway Action Plan with verified information, realistic milestones, and a clear next step.
Whether your next move is growing within phlebotomy, applying for an opportunity you already qualify for, developing a targeted skill or credential, or preparing for another healthcare occupation, this course gives you a guided process for making career decisions with greater clarity and confidence.
