What is a Phlebotomist?

A phlebotomist is a medical professional who's trained to perform blood draws. They collect blood for testing or donation and can also perform blood transfusions.

What Does a Phlebotomist Do

Phlebotomists draw and prepare blood for medical testing, transfusions or donation. Phlebotomists are trained to collect blood via venipuncture, finger pricks, or in the case of infants, heel pricks. Phlebotomists typically work in hospitals, clinics, outpatient care facilities, diagnostic laboratories and blood donation centers.

Phlebotomists play a vital role in the administration and management of blood draws for diagnosis, transfusion and research purposes.

On any given day, a Phlebotomist may be asked to:

Prepare patients for blood draws
Verify patient identities and ensure proper labeling of collection vials
Explain blood draw or transfusion process to patients
Guide nervous patients through blood draws
Conduct blood draws and transfusions
Assist patients who experience adverse reactions following a blood draw or transfusion
Follow directions of supervising physicians
Identify, label and track blood samples
Gather, inventory, and maintain blood draw instruments and supplies
