#pathtwitter showing my bias that CP/Clinical Chemistry should not be considered the stepchil of pathology @DrSMBean Joe Wiencek, PhD, DABCC - One gets out of residency what one put into residency and with AP training probably consistent across most programs; I offer this for consideration

AACC and other groups are urging the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Advisory Committee to review lab-developed test regulation, given that LDTs are regulated under CLIA. Read AACC's letter: ow.ly/3Gsy50GLAsE

Tomorrow a great friend and colleague, Dr. Shannon Haymond, begins her term as 2022-23 @_AACC President. I am excited to see the great things that she will accomplish as we move towards our 75th anniversary meeting next year. Congratulations, Shannon—we’re all with you!

Increased testing demand coupled with falling reimbursement doesn't add up for clinical labs. When low payment rates lead to staff reductions and work overload, it’s patients that suffer. See how AACC advocacy in action is making a difference. aacc.org/reimbursement

Congratulations to AACC member Dr. Yuk Ming Dennis Lo, who has won the distinguished 2022 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award for discovering fetal DNA in maternal blood. ow.ly/lKwq50L04XN

Absolute travesty. To this day I still remember things I learned as an undergrad taking Maitland Jones’ Orgo class (before he was at NYU). Yes, of course it was hard. So great, though!

U.S. law requires medical test results to be released to patients "without delay." This means doctors and patients often get results simultaneously, and some people are learning about life-altering diagnoses like cancer on their phones, without context. nyti.ms/3y9kmxS

Congratulations to Joe El-Khoury (Joe M. El-Khoury, PhD, DABCC) for receiving the IFCC&LM Young Investigator award!

U.S. FDA has shown renewed interest in regulating LDTs. Recent study at an academic lab estimated that this will affect 3.9% of overall tests done. In this letter AJCP, I explain why that’s a gross under-estimation #PathTwitter #LabMedTwitter 👇 nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2…
