Looking for a session on genomics technology? What about emerging diagnostics or point-of-care (POC) testing? The 2020 AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo offers content across the spectrum of clinical laboratory practice, enabling attendees to dive deeper into core aspects of their practice or to explore issues they are not as familiar with. “
The pathways are just one way to help guide attendees to various topics which may be directly relevant to them,” said Paul Jannetto, PhD, DABCC, FADLM, chair of the Annual Meeting Organizing Committee. “If someone is looking for more education/information in data analytics, genomics, or toxicology/TDM, they can quickly identify which scientific sessions or AACC University options exist for that specialty area.”
Chart a course based on your needs and interests first, then add other sessions that might be outside your comfort zone to freshen your skills.
