Phlebotomy Technician Program FAQs

Phlebotomists draw blood from patients or donors for tests, transfusions, research, or donations. (1) A phlebotomist may need to speak with patients to make them feel comfortable during the blood draw, especially in settings where patients see few other medical professionals, such as testing or donation sites. After drawing blood, a phlebotomist accurately labels samples and enters patient information into databases.
