Phlebotomy Technician Job Responsibilities and Training

Medical professionals commonly use blood samples to diagnose patients' conditions or overall health. These samples are often collected by a phlebotomy technician who has formal training in drawing blood from patients and preparing samples for lab processing. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expects strong job growth for phlebotomists in the coming years, with employment projected to increase 23% between 2018 and 2028. A phlebotomy technician requires skill in extracting samples as well as relevant knowledge, including equipment preparation, patient preparation, fluid collection, and proper sample handling. If you're considering a phlebotomy career, you'll need hands-on training. Many phlebotomy technician programs include classroom training as well as an internship or externship to ensure you have the necessary experience by the time you graduate. In this video, we'll explain more about what a phlebotomist's job responsibilities entail. We'll also cover your earning potential in a phlebotomy career, the types of places where you may work, and what to look for in a phlebotomy training program

I'm trying to get certification, phlebotomy is a good field to go into.

As someone who has worked in phlebotomy for 4 years, unless you're using the training or experience as a suppliement for another medical field, like nursing or physician, don't waste your time. It's a low-pay, dead-end path. I'd especially advise against a license or certification, it's a waste of your time, money, and effort that pays only slightly more than minimum wage.
