Our new cohort of Medical Laboratory Assistant/Technician students wasted no time in getting busy in the lab. The morning MLAT group got their hands on some needles to practice phlebotomy. Initially we do it with straws to simulate the vein and put a layer of play doh on top of the straw to simulate different thickness of skin.
