Laboratory science
Clinical laboratory scientists work in both outpatient clinics and hospital settings. They have an opportunity to gain exposure to different areas, such as chemistry, coagulation, hematology, urinalysis, and the blood bank. We also operate reference laboratories in each of our regions, which serve as hubs for specimen processing and analysis, as well as specialized testing.
