A phlebotomy career enables professionals to work with a wide variety of people and draw blood at hospitals and healthcare sites or even through unique types of jobs. Other phlebotomists draw blood at clinics to rule out or diagnose medical conditions or work at blood banks and are tasked with keeping blood donors safe, comfortable, and entertained while donating vital fluids to save lives.

Phlebotomists primarily collect blood using a procedure known as venipuncture, in which a vein is punctured to collect blood. For this reason, they should not only be comfortable working with blood and needles but also collecting and transporting samples. The procedures to do venipuncture correctly and safely are learned in a phlebotomy program so that students understand what they need to do to protect themselves. Safety and accuracy are essential skills to becoming a phlebotomist. At Care Training Academy students are also trained to become compassionate. Detail-oriented with great Dexterity.
