Background

About Audrey Vilgrain

As a Lab Manager, I feel I am the scientific detective of the medical laboratory. Everyday, I investigate the procedures that my staff use to find errors, because the more smoothly the laboratory runs, the better care patients receive. I once noticed that a patient’s blood test didn’t match the doctor’s report. It was my job to find out why. Was the blood collected wrong? Or maybe labeled incorrectly? Did the patient eat something he wasn’t supposed to before the test? By discovering the reason behind testing flaws like these, I make sure the same mistakes don’t happen again. My degree in Medical Technology gives me the knowledge and respect needed to run an efficient laboratory that helps patients quickly. That can lead to saving lives. Every day, I learn about new clinical laboratory methods. This information is so valuable for providing the best health care for patients. I truly enjoy what I do at all levels from the bench to the Leadership Role and helping others in their career path, as well.
