Phlebotomy Technician
Phlebotomy Technicians collect blood and non‐blood specimens for testing so that specimens can be analyzed in a clinical laboratory. Blood and non‐blood tests are used to diagnose illness, evaluate the effectiveness of medications, and determine whether a patient is receiving proper nutrition. They talk with patients to help them feel less nervous about having their blood drawn. Phlebotomy procedures include verifying the patient’s identity to ensure proper labeling of specimens and entry of information into a database.
