About Us

Hello my name is Barry Bearward and in addition to being a published writer and author, I am also a trained and certified laboratory technologist with over a decade of practical experience. When I first decided on a career in healthcare and chose to start out as a phlebotomist, I experienced a very difficult time trying to find enough information on this occupation.

Almost ten years later, and while the amount of information has certainly increased, I find that it is still very difficult to find, a comprehensive site with a majority of quality information about this profession. I knew I had to do something to change that and have researched, and compiled, a comprehensive database of all the information you will need, in order to become a certified phlebotomist.

I will inform you about the history of the phlebotomy profession, the schools where you can be properly trained, the associations that support phlebotomists, the certification process in order to compete for the best jobs, and the best places to work for top salary levels and job satisfaction.
