Phlebotomy Subject Matter Expert

Accelerate U is a new division at National Louis University dedicated to workforce training for local, upwardly-mobile jobs and careers.  Our ‘jobs first higher education’ training pathways 1) bridge to an in-demand job in 3-6 months, 2) lead to an industry-recognized credential, 3) focus on technical and ”durable”/career readiness skill development, and 4) allow participants to earn up to 30 college credits that seamlessly “stack” into an associate or bachelor’s degree. We intend to launch a phlebotomy certificate program in fall of 2025 and are looking for a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to inform our program design efforts.

• Aligned to the program and course learning objectives (which are aligned to certification requirements and job expectations)
• Engaging for students - creating opportunities for multiple modes of learning and assessment, with a strong emphasis on skill practice
• Accessible and clear for both students and instructors - well formatted, free of errors, instructor materials are easy to follow and minimize prep time required
• Meet Quality Matters standards and credit hour compliance expectations for courses

Deliverables:

• Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) drafted for the phlebotomy course are aligned to certification and workplace expectations
• Six four-hour clinical lab instructional plans aligned with Course Learning Outcomes and corresponding materials lists for the lab
• Outline of additional asynchronous learning expectations for students utilizing Cengage text and NHA studying resources, as well as additional written assignments that ensure students are well prepared for certification and workplace expectations
• Identified external learning resources to be used in courses for both terms (after review of multiple options)
• All of the above outlined in a course curriculum map to inform the build of the course by the Learning Design Team

Required:

• 10+ years of phlebotomy clinical experience
