Question: what is the difference between a certified phlebotomist and a phlebotomy technician?
Answer: A phlebotomist has undergone more training and supervises phlebotomy technicians. Both positions begin with similar training, but most states require you to earn a license or certification to work as a phlebotomist. Most clinics that do blood draws have both phlebotomy technicians and phlebotomists on staff.
