Hi, I’m Chad Wageman, founder of Northwest Medical Certificates, and a healthcare professional with over 15 years of hands-on experience in phlebotomy, IV therapy, and clinical laboratory management.

I'm a Certified Phlebotomy Technician, IV Therapy Specialist, and American Heart Association BLS Instructor, currently leading lab and IV services at a functional medicine clinic in Oregon. I’ve spent my career working closely with patients, clinicians, and healthcare teams — and I know what excellent vein access looks like in the real world.

I launched Northwest Medical Certificates to bridge the gap between textbook training and clinical confidence. Whether you’re brushing up on your venipuncture skills, launching IV services at your clinic, or certifying in BLS, I provide focused, practical training that fits your goals.

We don’t offer beginner-level courses — we work with experienced professionals who want to level up, stay sharp, and deliver outstanding care.

Let’s raise the bar on what’s possible — together.
