CAP Foundation's Futurescape Coming Up Soon

The CAP Foundation launched a conference called Futurescape of Pathology last June (see: CAP Foundation Futurescape Lectures Now Available). It served to fill a critical niche in the world of PLM (pathology and lab medicine) continuing education -- a forward-looking view about how these disciplines will evolve in the future. The various lectures stimulated me to post a number of notes including the following: The Future of Medicine and, Therefore, of Pathology and Lab Medicine. I also posted a critique of the conference written by a pathology resident who attended on the basis of a travel award; see: CAP Futurescape Conference: A Pathology Resident's Perspective.

The second conference in this series, entitled Transforming Pathology will be held on June 6-8, 2008, at the Westin O’Hare Hotel near the Chicago ariport. The speaker and topic lineup is once again excellent. The entire program can be viewed here. On-line registration is available. You can also register by fax (847-832-8324) or mail: Futurescape Conference, 325 Waukegan Road, Northfield, IL 60093. The conference is being held over the weekend to accommodate to the schedule of the busy pathologist. It's definitely worth attending.
