STATE COLLEGE — Medical Assistant (MA) students at South Hills School of Business & Technology's State College Main Campus recently participated in the 9th annual Splash of Blood Day. The event encourages fellow students as well as South Hills faculty and staff to volunteer their arms so the MA students can draw “just a splash” of their blood. Doing so allows the MA students to perfect their technique and achieve one of the National Healthcareer® Association (NHA) certification requirements: completing a minimum of 30 successful venipunctures.
Graduates of the MA specialized associate degree program at South Hills can go on to earn the NHA Certified Phlebotomy Technician certification and are eligible to take the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA) certification exam for Certified Medical Assistant.
