HealthManagement, Volume 15 - Issue 2, 2015
EuroMedLab 2015, organised by the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC), will be held in Paris from 21-25 June 2015. EuroMedLab is one of the most important and influential European events in laboratory medicine.
The motto of the conference is R-evolution in Lab Medicine, and the goal is to emphasise the importance of lab medicine in patient care and wellness.
The conference has a high quality scientific programme based on topics and discussions of direct relevance to modern clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine.
Scientific Programme
The scientific programme will comprise symposia, educational workshops and interactive poster sessions. The discussions will focus on the link between laboratory medicine and clinical medicine and the role they play in dealing with public health challenges.
