Science Cafe Little Rock: Lab Tests

Lab tests have become an almost routine part of most wellness and sick healthcare visits.

In this month's Science Café, Jennifer Laudadio, MD, Associate Professor of Pathology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, deconstructs the world of laboratory tests. She discusses the wide variety of lab tests that are available, how laboratories operate and ensure quality control, and what can be learned from lab tests.

Direct to consumer lab tests such as 23 and Me are also discussed.
