Department of Diagnostic Medicine

Most medical schools approach diagnostic medicine — the practice of diagnosing disease — through departments of pathology, radiology and laboratory medicine. At Dell Med, these specialties are integrated. This new approach has multiple benefits, including improved test accuracy, more convenient testing and lowered cost.

Key partners are Austin Radiological Association and Clinical Pathology Associates, and collaboration also extends to partners such as Ascension Seton. Wherever testing is performed, it is coordinated with patient needs: physicians in ARA and CPA oversee the tests, and results are promptly available to patients and referring physicians.
