Phlebotomy Technician Employment Outlook

The Profession Work Environment Income Statistics Job Outlook

Phlebotomy Technicians primarily draw blood, which is then used for different kinds of medical laboratory testing or for procedures, such as transfusions. In medical and diagnostic laboratories, patients sometimes interact only with the phlebotomist. In donation centers or locations that have blood drives, Phlebotomy Technicians draw blood from donors. Because all blood looks the same, Phlebotomy Technicians must carefully identify and label the blood they have collected and enter the information into a database. In addition to drawing blood, Phlebotomy Technicians also may collect urine or other samples. They instruct patients on procedures for proper collection and ensure that the sample is acceptable and clearly labeled in its container.

Phlebotomy Technicians must keep their work area and instruments clean and sanitary to avoid causing infections or other complications. Some Phlebotomy Technicians also ship or transport blood or other samples to different locations.
