Working in phlebotomy, your responsibilities involve drawing and preparing blood for donations, transfusions, or medical testing. International phlebotomy has opportunities to travel while working. Your duties include identifying a patient, following safety policies and procedures, applying a tourniquet, locating a vein, using a needle to draw blood, labeling and storing vials, and ensuring no contamination occurs. Phlebotomists can work in laboratories, community health centers, nursing homes, hospitals, blood donation centers, and doctor's offices. You can become a phlebotomy technologist, a phlebotomy scientist, or a phlebotomy technician. There is a higher need for workers to take an international assignment after disasters.
