A Phlebotomy Technician, or phlebotomist, is trained to draw blood from patients for tests, transfusions, donations, and research. He or she uses a variety of techniques, such as drawing blood from veins, or performing heel or finger sticks.

As a professional with these skills, you may enjoy flexible schedules, competitive salaries, and such benefits as health and life insurance, paid vacations, and paid sick time.

Phlebotomists are in demand in a number of health care settings, including hospital specialty departments, physicians’ offices, cardiac rehabilitation centers and clinical laboratories, health maintenance organizations and clinics.

Students may choose to study the dual certificate program ECG (Electrocardiograph) Technician and Phlebotomy Technician Program.
