Built by Healthcare Professionals, for Future Healthcare Professionals
Progressive Healthcare Academy was founded in 2011 by a group of clinical phlebotomists who saw a critical need for quality, affordable phlebotomy training in the Washington D.C, Maryland, and Northern Virginia areas.
What started as a single cohort of students in a rented clinic space has grown into a fully equipped training facility serving hundreds of students per year across multiple program formats.
Today, our graduates work at hospitals, specialty clinics, labs and dozens of private practices throughout the DMV area — a testament to the rigorous, practical training at the core of everything we do.
