Phlebotomists collect blood samples and units for laboratory tests, transfusions, donations, or research. Phlebotomists who work in medical clinics and hospitals are called Certified Phlebotomy Technicians (CPTs) and generally collect blood samples based on a physician’s order. The blood specimen, once taken, is then sent for diagnostic testing in a laboratory(Source: California Employment Development Department Occupational Guide).
