Phlebotomy Certificate Program
Health care is a rapidly expanding industry, and a new professional, the certified phlebotomist, helps to reduce the workload of doctors and nurses by focusing exclusively on blood collection, particularly in hospitals, medical laboratories and blood drives.
What is a Phlebotomist?
The practice of phlebotomy, or the technique of venipuncture, generally refers to the collection of blood from a vein.
Phlebotomists are health care professionals who have been trained to collect patient's blood specimens by venipuncture and by microcollection techniques. Phlebotomists usually work under the supervision of nurses, medical technologists, or laboratory managers.
Phlebotomists play an important role on the clinical laboratory team by collecting clinical laboratory specimens prior to the actual laboratory testing!
