Our amazing laboratory colleagues from Mayo Clinic are incredibly well-represented in San Diego for this year's American Association for Clinical Chemistry Annual Meeting and Clinical Expo. We will be live blogging from San Diego about the serious and fun sides of this year's meeting.
Thursday at 1:00 p.m.
We had a great time in San Diego with our colleagues, old friends, and new friends. We are so proud of our Mayo Clinic laboratory medicine colleagues who have proven their commitment to propelling the science forward, learning and teaching the best practices in our industry, and most importantly, advocating for the best laboratory testing possible for every patient. Congratulations to all of you for time well-spent and deserved in San Diego! While we enjoyed all that AACC had to offer, we did sneak in a little fun in San Diego. See you next year in Chicago!
Thursday at 9:34 a.m.
We've had an incredible time so far in San Diego and can't believe it's already the last day of the exhibit hall! We are so proud of our laboratory colleagues for all their presentations and activities throughout the show. It's also been fun to see them featured in the #2017AACC coverage in CLN Daily. Check out some of our favorites!
On Tuesday afternoon, the innovative session formats at the 69th AACC Annual Scientific Meeting continued with a Family Feud-style game show. Paul Jannetto, Ph.D., from Mayo Clinic, hosted the game between representatives from AACC leadership and from the Society for Young Clinical Laboratorians.
Linnea Baudhuin, Ph.D., and Carol Saunders, Ph.D., led an interactive session that sought to take some of the guesswork out of ordering complex genetic tests by outlining the pros and cons of ordering gene panels, whole-exome, and whole-genome testing. The speakers queried session attendees about the types of genetic testing offered at their institutions and quizzed them on which test should be ordered after learning details of several case studies.
AACC President Michael Bennett gives a high five to his AACC Leadership team, which included Dr. Baudhuin, stealing points from the SYCL team on the way to winning the first Laboratory Medicine Family Feud.
