Phlebotomy in the Medical Assistant's Role

The idea
Collecting and preparing blood specimens for laboratory tests is a common medical assistant duty.
In practice
As with every task, you perform blood draws only when the state, the practice and your training allow, and only after you have been checked off.
Where people slip
A blood draw is invasive. Never attempt one you have not been trained to do.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
