About the Teams:

• The Diagnostic Core Laboratories support hundreds of routine tests as well as specialty diagnostic testing for several conditions such as cancer and chronic kidney disease. Student Trainees in Phoenix, Birmingham, and Indianapolis will train in the Core laboratory environment.
• The Central Laboratories generate more clinical trial data than all other central laboratories combined. The central laboratory covers testing activities in Immunology, special chemistry, safety testing, genomics, histology, targeted cell isolation, flow cytometry, and microbiology. Student Trainees in Indianapolis will train in the Central Laboratory environment.
• Hospital Laboratories perform complex tests and procedures that help healthcare professionals detect, diagnose, and trait diseases. This can include working with bacteria and other microorganisms, analysis of body fluids and chemical and hormonal contents, and transfusion medicine. Student trainees will rotate through a Hospital laboratory to complete rotations not covered in the Core or Central laboratories. These hospital labs will either be run by Labcorp due to a hospital group partnership, or located with one of our local affiliates.
