A phlebotomist is a health care worker who draws blood from patients for analysis. Phlebotomists work in a variety of health care settings, including hospitals, blood donation facilities and clinics. A phlebotomist must be skilled at using needles and blood collection equipment, and follow rigid safety procedures.
Phlebotomists collect, transport and process the majority of samples used in laboratory testing. You will collect samples, label them correctly, transport them to the laboratory, and then perform some processing, such as centrifuging the samples to separate serum or plasma from the blood cells.
