Next generation sequencing (NGS) has transformed genetic testing and precision medicine in clinical laboratory practice. This interactive course, tailored to laboratory professionals without significant NGS experience, is designed to provide an in-depth exploration of critical laboratory aspects of NGS technology. We will delve into its applications in both hereditary and somatic testing, covering topics such as technology, assay validation, quality control and assurance, and the inherent limitations and promising opportunities of NGS. Through the lens of real clinical scenarios and interactive case studies, we will highlight the importance of appropriate test selection, emphasizing the essential components of each aspect for laboratory medicine practitioners.
This activity is designed for physicians, advanced practice professionals (NPs, PAs, RNs, etc.), lab supervisors, lab directors (and/or assistant directors), lab managers (supervisory and/or non-supervisory), medical technologists, point-of-care coordinators, pathologists, in-training individuals, and other laboratory professionals overseeing/conducting within this topic.
No prerequisite knowledge required.
