 If you are looking for a career that could challenge you yet help you make a difference in your community, it may be time to enroll in a Phlebotomy Technician program. Phlebotomists work hand in hand with highly trained medical staff to assist patients in need. This could be the ideal career path for you if you have a desire to play an important role in the healthcare field. To become a Nationally Certified Phlebotomist you must successfully graduate from a Phlebotomy Technician program. Through Hearts and Mind Training Center's Phlebotomy Technician program, we provide students with hands-on Phlebotomy Tech training that will better assist them in the future.

As a student in our career training program, you will have the opportunity to learn about how to draw blood from patients. In addition, students will also have the opportunity to learn about the processing, and distribution of laboratory specimens according to established medical procedures. In our phlebotomy technician course, we prioritize teaching safety standards, quality control procedures, as well as legal and ethical considerations that a Phlebotomist may encounter in the workplace.

 Phlebotomy tech training is geared with your future in mind. We aim to give you the tools you need to pursue entry-level opportunities as a phlebotomist. Our course could help you not just qualify for a job but effectively handle daily phlebotomist job responsibilities. Maybe you are thinking, “What does a phlebotomy technician do on the job?” Part of your duties will include drawing blood samples, preparing samples, alleviating patient concerns, explaining your work to patients, and properly responding when patients have adverse reactions to blood work.

Correct training will give you confidence and expertise as you handle the variety of tasks entrusted to you. Here are some additional duties you may perform as a Phlebotomist:

• Ease patients about having their blood drawn
• Correctly label drawn blood for testing or processing
• Enter blood work data into a patient’s medical record
• Organize and maintain medical instruments and supplies such as needles, test tubes, and blood vials.

According to the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of phlebotomy techs, commonly known as phlebotomists, is projected to grow 17 percent from 2019 to 2029, which is much faster than average for all occupations. These healthcare workers could be found working in hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, and in blood donation centers collecting blood and analysis.

Working as a phlebotomist may also offer opportunities to travel to different offices, long-term care centers, patients’ homes, and other sites to set up mobile donation centers. Qualified phlebotomists could be greatly needed as well during a health emergency which could result in an increased interest in blood donations and or a greater need for blood.
