What Is Phlebotomy?

Phlebotomy is when a professional phlebotomist, doctor, or nurse draws blood from a patient. The patient may be having blood drawn in order for the blood to be tested or screened, or he or she may be donating blood for a transfusion.

CPR123 offers phlebotomy certification and training for phlebotomists. Phlebotomy is currently a rapidly expanding field; in the past nurses or doctors were responsible for drawing blood, but demand is on the rise for trained phlebotomists.
