Phlebotomy technicians, or phlebotomists, obtain and prepare specimens for laboratory processing. Phlebotomists are traditionally associated with drawing and preparing blood in hospitals, clinics or physician’s offices. However, phlebotomists can be employed in a wide variety of fields that work with any bodily fluids that can be laboratory tested. They are skilled with collecting blood via venipuncture, finger pricks and heel pricks for infants.
