A Phlebotomist is a crucial member of the medical diagnostic team whose primary role is to draw blood samples from patients. Phlebotomists typically work in medical laboratories within hospitals or attached to doctors' offices and clinics.

Unlike other clinical laboratory personnel, a phlebotomist is in constant contact with patients, and responsible for making an uncomfortable procedure as painless as possible. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a friendly, caring, and sympathetic attitude toward all, as well as to be sensitive to those who are afraid of needles. A light touch and a confident, steady hand are also a big help in this career.

Previously, phlebotomists learned their skills on the job, but now short phlebotomist training programs are available that award a certification diploma upon program completion.
