Phlebotomy

A phlebotomy technician draws quality blood samples from patients or blood donors and prepares those specimens for medical testing. Many patients are afraid of blood and needles, and giving blood can be the most difficult part of an office visit. Phlebotomy technicians must create an atmosphere of trust and confidence with patients while drawing blood in a skillful, caring, safe, and reliable manner. Listed as a ‘bright outlook’ occupation by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
