The Phlebotomy Technician is an integral member of the medical laboratory team whose primary function is the collection of blood samples from patients. Phlebotomy Technicians also facilitate the collection and transportation of other laboratory specimens (e.g. urine).

It takes a skilled Phlebotomy Technician to put the patient at ease while obtaining all the required specimens.
