National Certified Phlebotomy Technician (NCPT)

Phlebotomists work directly with patients, and as such are many times the only 'face' that patients may associate with the medical laboratories that perform vital patient testing for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. For this reason, they must have excellent customer service and communication skills in addition to the clinical knowledge and skills they will need to collect patient samples like blood and urine. Laboratory results depend greatly upon the phlebotomist's ability to collect quality specimens. National Certified Phlebotomy Technician (NCPT) Website
