Phlebotomy has evolved into a profession that
requires specialized education and training. Apart from having to master
the many required techniques and skills associated with blood drawing
and sundry sample collection, phlebotomists also need to ensure
compliance with safety and prevention regulations, as well as to develop
keen judgment, good attitude, and highly effective communication skills
to successfully interact with patients. They are, after all, the vital
link between the patient and the lab, and are responsible for the
collection of quality specimens by the safest means possible, that
ultimately impact on the final outcome of test results.
