What the Alaska data shows for Phlebotomists

To practice as a phlebotomist in Alaska, the state licensing board requires 1,000 documented education or training hours, a passing score on a state-approved exam. A criminal history background check is also part of the application. The regulation sits under Alaska's professional licensing framework, which classifies the training track as "Certificate/Degree".

Budget $100 to get started on a 2-year cycle. There's no continuing-education mandate tied to this profession in Alaska, which keeps the long-run cost of staying licensed lighter than in CE-heavy states.

Alaska handles out-of-state credentials on a case-by-case basis instead of a standing reciprocity list.
