Certified Medical Assistants (CMA) are commonly hired to be phlebotomists. I believe that the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) can certify you to be a phlebotomist, provided you’re certified as a physician’s assistant. Their link is below.
In most states phlebotomy is a 6 week training program. Find training in your area and it shouldn’t be too terribly expensive. I agree w/ your career plan. It’s great to have a large variety of employable skills. Next pursuit, consider learning medical transcription. You can work at home as an MT and as you build speed and accuracy over time, the money is pretty darn good. : )
