  • As a phlebotomy technician apprentice/intern, I covered various aspects of phlebotomy, including venipuncture techniques, patient care, infection control, and laboratory procedures. Another benefit I had was hands-on clinical experience, gaining the opportunity to practice and exceed my skills in a real healthcare environment. During my internship, I had the opportunity to work closely with experienced phlebotomists and perform blood collection, specimen collection, and labeling on actual patients. Refining my technical skills, patient comfort, and the importance of patient communication and professionalism in a healthcare setting. Additionally, I would document and handle real patients' specimens, ensuring the proper handling and holding for pick-up. Overall, it was a rewarding experience to obtain confidence in my ability to perform phlebotomy procedures effectively.
