Phlebotomists are allied health professionals who specialize in taking small blood samples to be used for testing, diagnosis, or research purposes, and large quantities of blood for therapeutic purposes or donation. Phlebotomy technicians are critical team members in the practice of blood draws at a wide array of healthcare facilities. As the demand for bloodwork for analysis and diagnoses continues to grow, employment of phlebotomists is expected to increase 17% by 2029. It’s a great time to begin a career in this thriving field and it doesn’t even require an advanced medical degree.

Phlebotomists may hold Basic Life Support (BLS) or Phlebotomy Technician (PBT-ASCP), among others.

Having a Registered Phlebotomy Technician (AMT-RPT) validates your knowledge and skills as a phlebotomist and your dedication to continuing your education in your chosen field. All of which makes you a more desirable job candidate to healthcare employers.
