Biography

Mark Cervinski Ph.D DABCC, originally from Bonnyville, Alberta Canada received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, North Dakota in 2006. Following his Ph.D. training Dr. Cervinski shifted his focus from the basic sciences to clinical chemistry and completed a Fellowship in Clinical Chemistry from Washington University in St. Louis in the summer of 2009. Mark joined the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine as an Assistant Professor and as the Director of Clinical Chemistry at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in August of 2009. Among diverse interests in clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine Dr. Cervinski is currently focused on using patient data as a supplementary quality control strategy, as well as test utilization/optimization and finding efficiencies in delivering laboratory results.
