Hosted by AASU's Department of Medical Technology in the College of Health Professions, the conference is the most important annual event for faculty, administrators and other professionals in clinical laboratory science education, according to the American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science. Hassan Aziz, head of medical technology at AASU, will provide welcome remarks starting at 12:30 p.m. He is serving as 2008 CLEC general conference chair. AASU assistant professors Lisa Anderson and Michelle Butina co-chaired the program committee. "CLEC is an event where theoretical perspectives and practical implications are explored, and new educational technologies are presented," said Aziz. Clinical laboratory science education trains students to become skilled professionals who can perform medical laboratory work that is vital in health care. Working as healthcare detectives, clinical laboratory science practitioners uncover and provide information from laboratory analyses that assist physicians in patient diagnosis and treatment, as well as in disease monitoring and prevention. The conference will attract more than 500 clinical laboratory education faculty and other professionals from around the nation and other countries.
