In 2023, we said goodbye to the AACC Annual Scientific Meeting, and this year, we say hello to the first ADLM Annual Meeting. With ADLM 2024 right around the corner, Laborastories host Dr. Octavia Peck Palmer sits down with Dr. Mark Marzinke, chair of this year’s Annual Meeting Organizing Committee, to chat about the meeting’s most exciting highlights, and how they reflect the full tapestry of laboratory medicine and all its subdisciplines.

Now that the Food and Drug Administration has dropped its final rule on laboratory developed tests, Laborastories host Dr. Octavia Peck Palmer sits down with Dr. Dennis Dietzen for an in-depth discussion on it. How could the rule harm vulnerable patients like infants? Why are the rule’s exemptions not all they’re cracked up to be? And what can labs do to mitigate the rule’s negative impact? Tune in to find out.

Clinical laboratory scientists play an essential role in getting patients accurate diagnoses and effective care. In this episode of Laborastories, host Dr. Octavia Peck Palmer talks with Kacy Peterson, chair of ADLM’s Clinical Laboratory Scientists Council, about what the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (formerly AACC) is doing to help clinical laboratory scientists flourish in their careers and to recruit more people to this important profession.

Healthcare professionals currently don’t have the ability to monitor whether medical artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are fair or not — a serious gap that could lead to AI exacerbating existing disparities and harming the most vulnerable patient populations. In this episode of Laborastories, host Dr. Octavia Peck Palmer talks with Dr. Mark Zaydman about this issue and about an Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (formerly AACC) competition that aims to encourage clinical labs to develop tools to meet this need.

Why are diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives critical to laboratory medicine and the achievement of health equity? Tune into this episode of Laborastories to find out, as host Dr. Octavia Peck Palmer talks with Dr. Christina Pierre about what the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (formerly AACC) is doing to align the association with DEI principles and to empower our members to put these principles into practice.

The clinical lab’s insights are crucial to improving patient outcomes. However, demonstrating this to providers, payers, other healthcare stakeholders, and the general public has proven to be a challenge. Join Laborastories host Dr. Octavia Peck Palmer as she talks with Dr. David Grenache about what the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (formerly AACC) is doing to make headway on this important issue—and how labs can get out there and show their value.
