Becoming a Phlebotomy Technician
What Does a Phlebotomist Do?
A phlebotomist draws and prepares blood for testing through venipuncture or capillary puncture (finger sticks and heel sticks).
How Do You Get a Phlebotomy Certification?
Right now, only four states in the US require state certification to practice phlebotomy. Those states are California, Louisiana, Washington, and Nevada. Although a certification isn’t required in other states, it offers a large advantage to those looking to start their phlebotomy career. In order to become a nationally certified phlebotomy technician (CPT), you generally need to complete a certain number of successful venipunctures and capillary punctures (finger sticks) and pass a written exam.
Where Can I Work as a Phlebotomist?
Typically, phlebotomy technicians work in hospitals, diagnostic and medical laboratories, and doctors offices. They may also travel to patients’ homes or set up mobile donation centers and travel to different sites.
