What is a Phelebotomist?

A phlebotomist is responsible for drawing blood from patients for medical testing, transfusions, donations, or research.

Phlebotomists also need to maintain a clean and organized work area, follow safety protocols to prevent the spread of infections, and provide a comforting and reassuring experience for patients during the blood draw process. Additionally, they may be required to input patient information into a computer system and communicate with healthcare professionals to ensure accurate and timely test results.
