"Before joining Covance, I worked in traditional testing environments including hospitals, physician, and reference laboratories. I joined Covance because I could work a set schedule and could have a specialized position in Special Chemistry and Toxicology. Soon, I discovered that Covance offers so much more.

When you join Covance as a Medical Technologist, your testing is focused on identifying the impact of clinical trial drugs on the overall health of a patient. To accurately assess the success or failure of a particular drug, it must be tested on a large, diverse population. Ultimately, our testing data provides pharmaceutical companies with the key research needed to determine whether a potential drug may have adverse effects on its patients. Covance plays an important part in deciding if a drug should continue in the drug development process.

This makes my work at Covance unique from my other work experiences. Because I do not have direct patient interaction, I am able to direct my full attention to providing efficient, accurate testing rather than spending time interfacing with doctors or completing phlebotomy."

"What is great about Covance is that I get the opportunity to do things that only management does in a hospital. A typical day begins with preparing instrumentation for testing—completing daily maintenance, checking linearity, verifying QV standards, and checking reagent supply. Rather than running the same test over and over each day, I am able to utilize my organizational and multi-tasking skills to shape my day. I am responsible for running samples efficiently while using critical thinking and interpretive skills to identify patterns in results. I am also involved in proficiency testing, method validation, and bringing new intrumentation online. At Covance, my initiative is rewarded with a variety of interesting projects and challenging work.

I have learned that the opportunities at Covance don't end with what you are doing today. Since joining Covance a year ago, I have enhanced my testing skills by working a variety of benches and have been rewarded with new, challenging leadership responsibilities. More than that, I have experience fullfillment from understanding the critical impact of my contribution on the future of modern medicine.

Covance's mission is to help bring the miracles of medicine to market sooner, and I personally contribute to that mission."
