Clinical Diagnostics & Research Virtual Event Series 2019

The 10th Annual Event in the Clinical Diagnostics & Research Virtual Event Series is now available On Demand! This years event brings together clinicians, researchers, medical experts and professionals for the tenth year in a row, elevating the level of collaboration and in turn, advancing clinical diagnostics, research and medicine.

Thousands will join in discussion of the continuous progress made with advances in laboratory testing and patient care and treatment. With new technologies and treatments available, updates in regulatory processes are also necessary to ensure patient safety and proper practices. This complimentary conference offers an amazing opportunity to benefit from interacting with a global community of like-minded colleagues from the comfort of home.

This years event includes the following tracks and topics:

  • Emerging Technologies
    • Digital Lab
    • Artificial Intelligence
    • Sustainability
  • Opioid Crisis
    • Epidemiology
    • Non-Opioid Alternative
    • Treatments for Pain Management
    • Monitoring Patients' Opioid Use via Urinalysis and other Mediums
  • Regulatory
    • Proficiency testing for HgA1c
    • Impact of PAMA
  • Clinical Lab Value
    • TDM for Biologics
    • Sepsis Management
    • Laboratory Stewardship

Our virtual conference allows you to participate in a global setting with no travel or cost to you. The event will remain open 6 months from the date of the live event.  The webinars will be available for unlimited on-demand viewing.  This virtual conference also offers increased reach for the global microbiology community with a high degree of interaction through live-streaming video and chat sessions.
