Phlebotomy Schools and Training Programs

Health care support occupations are in high demand, as the population ages and medical treatment options multiply. Phlebotomists serve on the frontlines of medical care as medical technicians, collecting blood samples for diagnostic tests and blood transfusions.

What is Phlebotomy?

Phlebotomy is the practice of collecting and preparing blood samples for analysis. Phlebotomists are skilled in the safe and hygienic collection of blood samples from patients. Working as part of a team of clinical laboratory technicians, phlebotomists preserve the blood samples in microcollection tubes and submit them for laboratory testing. A phlebotomist may also draw blood for donation, transfusion or for treatment of blood conditions such as hemachromatosis, a condition involving elevated iron levels in the blood. Phlebotomists typically report to a medical technician or pathologist.
