A lab courier, also called a medical courier or medical delivery driver, transports medical supplies, medications, laboratory specimens, medical records, and other materials. They may make scheduled deliveries along a set route, or handle on-demand pickups and deliveries. They work with pharmacies, laboratories, research institutions, diagnostic centers, hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare and medical facilities.
