Phlebotomist

Phlebotomists are health care professionals who have been trained to collect patient's blood specimens by venipuncture and by microcollection techniques. They usually work under the supervision of a physician, a medical laboratory scientist, or a lead phlebotomist. After the phlebotomist collects the blood, they process and analyze the specimen with sophisticated laboratory equipment. Therefore, phlebotomists must know human anatomy, have technical skills, and know laboratory safety rules and OSHA requirements. They also must know how to interact with people, how to operate automated analyzers, and how to perform various manual tests on blood.
