Now in its 21st year, Executive War College this year expects record-breaking attendance by senior lab executives, administrators, and pathologists from all over the world.
“Never before has the clinical laboratory industry and anatomic pathology profession experienced such a fast-paced transformation of the American healthcare system as is happening now,” says Robert L. Michel, producer of Executive War College and Editor-In-Chief of The Dark Report. “As one example, the profession of lab medicine has the unprecedented opportunity to take the leading role in advancing the practice of precision medicine, informed by knowledge derived from genetic testing and whole-human genome sequencing.
Specifically addressing these precision medicine opportunities are General Sessions Tuesday, April 27, and Wednesday, April 28, noted Michel. These are world-class sessions, from esteemed speakers with international academic and clinical research reputations.”
The Executive War College 2016 General Session presentations will include:
