Veripath Laboratories (the reference laboratory services of the Department of Pathology) was initially established to support the service, research, and educational missions of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Veripath has progressively introduced a number of diagnostic laboratory procedures that are not commonly available. We now offer this testing to the larger medical community because we believe there is value in providing this testing regionally and in a timely fashion. In addition, we believe our uniquely specialized pathologist and clinical consultation services add value to our test offerings. Veripath Laboratories recognize that the true product of the laboratory is quality information, not just analytical data. A major consideration in the development of our test offerings is to meet the needs of the clinician in the context of a patient's complex medical illness. An essential element in being able to make these tests accessible to the community is the availability of our faculty to contribute to individual patient problem-solving when needed.
