Campbellsville University’s Phlebotomy certification program teaches students to draw blood for tests, transfusions, and other purposes. Generally, phlebotomy technicians can find work in hospitals, blood donation centers, doctor’s offices, and various laboratories. Depending on the setting, phlebotomists will draw blood, ensure that a patient’s sample is properly labeled, enter the patient’s information into a health database, and prepare medical instruments like needles and vials. In many cases, the phlebotomist may be the only medical practitioner to interact with a patient during their visit. Therefore, they must ensure that patients feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible when drawing blood.
