Laboratory Medicine

Laboratory medicine faculty, as Medical Directors, oversee the quality, reproducibility, accuracy and interpretation of laboratory testing or blood product supplies in specialist divisions.

Many tests are developed and validated at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire, according to the strict criteria of our accrediting bodies (CLIA, CAP, AABB, FACT, FDA).
