CHICAGO, Aug. 1, 2024 ~ The Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM) welcomed a record-breaking number of laboratory experts to their annual meeting, ADLM 2024, from July 28 to August 1. Formerly known as the AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo, this year's event showcased groundbreaking advancements in diagnostic research and technology, highlighting the crucial role that laboratory medicine plays in patient care.
According to ADLM, as of Thursday, August 1, over 18,000 laboratory medicine professionals had registered for the meeting. This marks a significant increase of 6% in attendance since the last time the ADLM Annual Meeting was held in Chicago in 2022. With one more day left in the meeting, even more attendees are expected to join.
One of the highlights of the event was a special session featuring representatives from ADLM, the American Medical Association, and the Children's Hospital Association. They discussed how the FDA's final rule placing laboratory developed tests under FDA oversight will have a negative impact on patient care. The session also included a caregiver and patient advocate who shared their perspective on why these tests are essential for timely diagnoses and treatment.
