A phlebotomy technician is a healthcare professional who is essential in hospitals, clinics, and laboratories. They are responsible for drawing blood from patients, which is critical for diagnosing and treating medical conditions. Phlebotomy technicians handle tasks such as preparing blood draw sites, and collecting blood samples safely and hygienically. They play a crucial role in the healthcare team by ensuring that blood samples are properly labeled, stored, and transported for testing. Phlebotomy technicians also provide reassurance to patients during the blood draw process and maintain a clean and organized work environment.
