The Phlebotomist is a vital member of the clinical laboratory team, whose main function is to obtain patients blood specimens by venipuncture and micro collection. The field of Phlebotomy has greatly expanded in the past several years and the role of this team member of the health care team has recently been brought into much sharper focus. The increasingly high amount of laboratory blood testing performed each day; the aging population and the national shortage of registered nurses have caused a dramatic emphasis on the need for highly trained Phlebotomists.
