As a medical courier, you are a professional who handles medical items in transit between medical laboratories, reference laboratories, and hospitals. The medical items, specimens, or equipment in your care often require specific handling requirements, including temperature stability, chemical safety, biological hazard handling, and privacy laws (HIPAA). Medical couriers manage pickups and deliveries, documentation such as invoices, medical records, x-rays, chemicals, equipment or analyzers, supplies, and pharmaceuticals. You are responsible for sensitive and valuable equipment, irretrievable specimens, private information, and medically necessary supplies, as well as the safety of yourself and your cargo. Treat each specimen as if it were your family members...care and caution are mandatory. Welcome to the health care team!
