Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) Training Program

A phlebotomist is a healthcare professional who specializes in drawing blood from patients for various purposes, such as diagnostic testing, blood donations, or research. 

What is a CPT?

  • Specimen Labeling and Processing: After collecting blood, phlebotomists label the samples accurately to ensure proper identification. They may also process the samples by centrifuging them to separate blood components or preparing them for transportation to the laboratory.


  • Maintaining Equipment and Supplies: Phlebotomists are responsible for ensuring that their equipment, such as needles, tubes, and gloves, is sterile and in proper working condition. They may also stock and organize supplies, maintain inventory, and dispose of medical waste safely.


  • Adhering to Safety and Infection Control: Phlebotomists follow strict safety protocols to minimize the risk of infections and maintain a clean and sterile environment. They use personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves and masks, and dispose of contaminated materials appropriately.


  • Documentation: Phlebotomists record patient information, such as their name, date of birth, and medical history, accurately. They also document the details of the blood collection procedure, including the site of collection, the quantity of blood drawn, and any complications or reactions.


  • Quality Assurance: Phlebotomists ensure the accuracy and quality of blood samples by carefully following standard operating procedures and maintaining quality control measures. They may also assist in the identification and resolution of problems related to sample collection or handling.Type your paragraph here.

What does a CPCT/PCT do?

Their primary role is to collect blood samples safely and efficiently while ensuring patient comfort and following proper procedures. CPTs work under the supervision of registered nurses (RNs) or other healthcare and research professionals. Key responsibilities of a phlebotomist are listed below:


  • Blood Collection: Phlebotomists are skilled in venipuncture, which involves using a sterile needle to puncture a vein and collect blood samples. They select appropriate veins, cleanse the puncture site, and draw blood using the appropriate technique.


  • Patient Interaction: Phlebotomists interact with patients to help them feel comfortable during the blood collection process. They explain the procedure, answer questions, and address any concerns or anxieties patients may have.
