Are health educators allowed to draw blood at free std clinics?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibly: People who have successfully completed a course in phlebotomy are generally qualified to draw blood samples from patients. Individual practices usually have their own policies on which additional credentials or experience is required to perform this procedure in their facility.

Probably not: A health educator is likely not trained/qualified to draw blood. This is an invasive procedure that is usually done by trained phlebotomists, nurses, or other medical professionals.
