Description of Session:

This one day conference is being coordinated by the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene for Wisconsin Clinical Laboratory Network. The conference will allow participants to network and learn from colleagues as we discuss both the advantages and challenges associated with syndromic multiplex panel testing and laboratory automation. Audience participation in the discussions will be highly encouraged.

A certificate of participation will be granted to each participant based on 6.0 contact hours of instruction toward credit.

This program is co-sponsored by ASCLS-WI which is approved as a provider of continuing education programs in the clinical laboratory sciences by the ASCLS P.A.C.E. program.
