The History of Oregon Medical Training
Oregon Medical Training began as a phlebotomy class taught by Mario Pierce in 1999. The company started with two employees teaching in Eugene, Oregon. The course continued to grow in size each year and a second training location was added in Bend, Oregon. In April 2004, the company was incorporated as Oregon Phlebotomy Training. In November 2007, our name changed to Oregon Medical Training in order to better reflect the training that we offer!

Classes are split between lectures and laboratory exercises. All students must be willing participants as providers and receivers of phlebotomy, unless they have a medical note.
