Executive War College
On Diagnostics, Clinical Laboratory, and Pathology Management
For you and your clinical lab or pathology management team, this must-attend two-day event is unique because it emphasizes success stories and case studies that will help your lab survive—and thrive—despite the industry’s changing landscape. More than 90 sessions and 146 speakers, panelists, and lab experts will be at the podium sharing the inside story of how their respective lab organizations are succeeding.
Important presentations will cover the major trends in today’s healthcare system and describe specific ways these developments either hurt or help the financial stability of laboratories.
Whatever your special interest, you’ll find it! Each day’s sessions cover the full gamut of lab strategy, lab management, lab operations, finance, sales, marketing, managed care contracting, regulatory, CLIA updates, legal/regulatory compliance, coding/billing/collection innovations, AI, digital pathology, whole genome sequencing, and even merger & acquisition activity involving lab companies.
Add it up! Our Executive War College provides you everything you need to guide your laboratory to success. In two-information-filled days, you get the latest in lab management, inside news on breaking trends, and the opportunity to network with the keenest minds in laboratory medicine.
