概述
放血 is a rewarding entry-level career for someone who desires to work directly with patients. Quality collection of blood samples by phlebotomists are what allow Medical Lab Technologists and Physicians to produce accurate laboratory results and determine proper medical treatments. Phlebotomists must possess a number of physical and interpersonal skills in order to perform their job safely including fine motor skills, 流动性, the ability to operate mechanical and computerized equipment, and perform clerical duties. Good communication skills are critical in dealing with patients, 客户, 医生, nurses and other health care workers. Important information about the program is found here in our information packet (PDF).
