| | Phlebotomy |
 | | One of the most common career paths for phlebotomy technicians is to work for a few years in a hospital or laboratory and then return to school to study medical laboratory technology or some other branch of clinical laboratory medicine. | | | Most phlebotomy technicians are supervised by other laboratory personnel and work in hospitals, clinics, doctors' offices, reference laboratories, and blood banks. | | | Advancement: At some hospitals, phlebotomy technicians advance through several different levels of responsibility and pay, depending on their training and experience. |

| | SHIB: Disposal of Contaminated Needles and Blood Tube Holders Used for Phlebotomy |
| | Of phlebotomy device injuries, 33% were sustained by phlebotomists and 7% by clinical lab workers; 11% occurred while "disassembling" phlebotomy needles, and 22% during or after disposal. | | | Since phlebotomy needles are hollow-bore and blood-filled, they pose a high risk for transmission of bloodborne pathogens such as HIV, HCV, and HBV. | | | Of those, 12 reported that they were injured by the "back end" (tube-piercing end) of the phlebotomy needle; this translates to approximately 10.5% (12/114) of percutaneous injuries from phlebotomy needles. |
