Emerging Laboratory Diagnostic Options for Sexually-transmitted Infections

Presenters:

• Erik Munson, Ph.D., Technical Director, Wheaton Franciscan Laboratory, Milwaukee, WI

Description of Session:

Under-utilization of appropriate diagnostic modalities could result in missed opportunities for sexually-transmitted infection diagnosis. Moreover, a past perception that testing options for sexually-transmitted infection in males were non-existent is changing as a result of molecular diagnostics. The purpose of this session is to discuss these emerging diagnostic modalities.

A certificate of participation will be granted to each participant based on 1.0 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.

As part of the new P.A.C.E. continuing education process, please go to the ASCLS CE Organizer web site to print your P.A.C.E. certificates. You will be asked for a code number to print the certificate. We will provide you this number during the teleconference.

Please note that the deadline for receiving P.A.C.E. education credit for this teleconference is January 20, 2017.
