What Is A Phlebotomy Technician
In short, phlebotomist training prepares you for a lifelong medical career. Chiefly, a phlebotomist draws blood samples from patients and donors. They also label the samples and log any necessary information.
If you work well with people and don’t mind the sight of blood, then phlebotomy job training might be perfect for you.
This program prepares you for an entry-level job position. And a lot of Phlebotomy Technicians advance on to other advanced medical careers. Specifically, many choose to move up to Medical Assisting or Medical Laboratory Assisting because a lot of the same skills apply.
As a Phlebotomy Technician, you’ll spend your workday:
- Collecting blood samples;
- Labeling samples;
- Cleaning equipment;
- Updating records;
- And much more.
