Phlebotomy, derived from the Greek terms "phlebo-" meaning "pertaining to a blood vessel" and "-tomy" meaning "to make an incision," involves introducing a needle into a vein, a procedure commonly known as venipuncture. Practitioners performing this technique are referred to as "phlebotomists." While often performed by trained professionals such as doctors, nurses, and medical lab scientists in various countries, specialized training is essential.

Phlebotomists are trained healthcare professionals responsible for drawing blood for clinical testing, transfusions, donations, or research purposes. Their duties include patient identification, interpreting test requisitions, correctly collecting blood using appropriate tubes and additives, explaining procedures to patients, maintaining aseptic techniques, performing venipunctures or fingersticks as necessary (including heel sticks for infants), labeling samples accurately, and delivering specimens to laboratories while ensuring patient safety and comfort.

Certification options for phlebotomists include numerous recognized organizations. In California, certification is exclusively accepted from seven agencies: American Certification Agency (ACA), American Medical Technologists (AMT), American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP), National Center for Competency Testing / Multi-skilled Medical Certification Institute (NCCT/MMCI), National Credentialing Agency (NCA), National Healthcareer Association (NHA), and National Phlebotomy Continuing Education (NPCE). Outside California, certification can be obtained through other accredited bodies. Candidates typically need to complete a comprehensive phlebotomy course and demonstrate clinical or laboratory experience. The National Certification Career Association (NCCA) offers a two-part certification exam encompassing skills and written assessments.
