The Phlebotomist is a vital member of the healthcare team, primarily responsible for the skilled and safe collection of blood samples from patients of all ages for diagnostic testing, transfusions, research, and blood donations. This role demands exceptional attention to detail to ensure accurate patient identification and proper specimen labeling, which are paramount to patient safety and reliable test results. The successful candidate must possess excellent interpersonal skills, demonstrating compassion and professionalism to help anxious or nervous patients feel comfortable and at ease during procedures. This Phlebotomist role offers opportunities for professional growth, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a culture committed to quality, evidence-based laboratory practices, and continuous improvement. Reporting to the Laboratory Supervisor or Director, you will play an essential role in receiving, verifying, and distributing critical patient specimens, executing fundamental clinical clerical functions, and partnering with an interdisciplinary healthcare team to promote diagnostic accuracy and improve patient outcomes.

- Clearly explaining blood collection procedures to patients to help them understand the process and alleviate any fears or concerns they may have.
- Demonstrating strong interpersonal skills, empathy, and patience when interacting with patients, visitors, and other medical professionals.
- Accurately labeling all collected blood and non-blood specimens (such as urine or oral fluid samples) immediately following collection and verifying all patient information matches the test orders.
- Entering patient demographics, test orders, and collection information into laboratory information systems (LIS) or electronic health records (EHR) with meticulous detail.
- Maintaining an organized and sanitary work station, managing inventory, and assisting with ordering supplies as needed.
- Complying with all legal regulations and privacy rights, such as HIPAA, related to the handling of patient information and medical records.
This role might be for you if:
- Compassion and empathy guide your interactions with patients, families, and your clinical laboratory colleagues.

- You enjoy executing precise instructions within a technical laboratory environment while upholding exceptional professional standards and corporate codes of behavior.
- You are comfortable working with complex information networks and possess excellent computer skills to navigate modern healthcare databases, LIS, and EHR platforms.
