What Does A Phlebotomy Technician Do?

Phlebotomy technicians are skilled healthcare professionals trained to collect, transport, and handle blood (and, sometimes, non-blood specimens) for laboratory analysis or blood transfusions. They spend most of their time interacting with patients, drawing blood, and preparing samples to be sent to the laboratory for testing. Blood and non-blood specimens are tested to diagnose illness, evaluate the effectiveness of medications, determine whether a patient is receiving proper nutrition, and more.

Where Does A Phlebotomy Technician Work?

Phlebotomy technicians most often work in hospitals and outpatient labs but can also work in physician’s offices, student health centers, correctional facilities, plasma centers, blood banks, or other healthcare facilities.

FAQ

What skills do Phlebotomy Technicians need to possess?

A Phlebotomy Technician needs a number of skills to be successful. They need to have coordination, because it takes a steady hand and good eye-hand coordination to draw blood while causing as little pain to the patient as possible. They need to have attention to detail, because everything needs to be properly labeled and stored to avoid mixing, lost or contaminated samples. Also, communication and stamina are important skills to possess, because you’ll be working for hours on your feet with patients who may be nervous around needles.

What is the typical schedule of a Phlebotomy Technician?

The number of hours a phlebotomist works depends on the work location. In a clinic or donation center, you might work a fairly normal weekday full-time schedule. In a hospital you may be required to work night shifts and weekends. Phlebotomy Technicians typically work 40 hours a week, but may work overtime hours in clinical and hospital environments.

Where is the best place to work as a Phlebotomy Technician?

The best place to work as a Phlebotomy Technician will depend on your desired workplace environment. Some phlebotomists may enjoy the challenges of a hospital or clinic environment, whereas others might prefer more predictable office hours like in a doctor’s office.

What's the difference between a Medical Assistant and a Phlebotomy Technician?

Medical assistants work alongside physicians to provide both administrative and clinical support. A phlebotomy technician is solely trained to draw blood.

Do you have to maintain your certification to remain a Phlebotomy Technician?

Yes. For most phlebotomy professional certifications, you need to earn a certain number of continuing education credits every two years. There are short courses you can take to fulfill this requirement.
