What is a Phlebotomy Technician?

Phlebotomy technicians are trained to draw blood. It’s the practice of piercing a patient’s vein and collecting a sample for testing to inform potential treatments and procedures. They’re also trained to calm patients and make the process as comfortable as possible. In Ultimate Medical Academy’s Phlebotomy Technician program, your coursework will focus on the skills necessary for this important healthcare field.

I was really pleased with the flexibility. The flexibility is key when you're having to work full-time and, and then some, and trying to schedule your life. I think this is one of the best experiences I've had.
