The Phlebotomy Technician is an integral member of the medical laboratory team whose primary function is the collection of blood samples from patients. Phlebotomy Technicians also facilitate the collection and transportation of other laboratory specimens (e.g. urine). Very often the patient’s only contact with the medical laboratory is with the Phlebotomy Technician. Many patients, from children and teens to adults, often find needles and the idea of having their blood drawn frightening. It takes a skilled Phlebotomy Technician to put the patient at ease while obtaining all the required specimens.
