"I have a great career path success story! I started with Covance as a Medical Technologist in our Clinical Pathology area. My next role was as Study Technologist in our Clinical Pathology area. My next role was as Study Coordinator, and thanks to a terrific mentor, I was promoted to Study Director. I then went to the department that was the forerunner of Program Management, Team IND. The next steps on the course were Director of Client Services, then Director of QA, and finally, my role as a Program Manager."

Another path is the "science track". This focuses on a specific scientific area, and allows people to build their own "mini-business unit" within Toxicology. another career path option is program management, which helps smaller clients get their molecule to humans."
