Following the success of Today's Clinical Lab’s first Digital Forum last year, we are happy to announce that we’ll be hosting an in-person clinical roundtable as part of the 2023 Lab Manager Leadership Summit in College Park, MD, this coming April.
During our Digital Forum, many of you shared advice, challenges, and your personal experiences as clinical lab professionals, which made a lasting impact on fellow attendees and the Today's Clinical Lab team.
We invite you to continue those meaningful conversations by joining us and your host, Rodney E. Rohde, PhD, SM (ASCP)CM, SVCM, MBCM, FACSc, and our panel of experts on April 24 at 3:45 pm EST to discuss current challenges facing laboratory medicine, including the following:
- SALSA and VALID Act
- Reimbursement
- Workforce shortage
- Lab operations
We hope the upcoming roundtable will provide you with an opportunity to pose questions, exchange stories, share resources, and learn from each other to support the clinical lab community and help each other become better leaders.
