The Clinical Cytometry Society presents a Annual Clinical Flow Cytometry

same location.  The course concentrates on data analysis, interpretation and
clinicopathologic correlation with intensive review of the most common
clinical applications of flow cytometry. The topics are covered in small
classes (6-15 student) using lectures and hands on manipulation of actual
patient data. Topics include diagnosis of acute leukemia and
lymphoproliferative disorders, minimal residual disease detection, stem cell
enumeration, monitoring of immune recovery following bone marrow
transplantation, platelet testing, RBC flow cytometry, PNH testing, flow
cytometric testing in myeloma, neutrophil function assays, flow cytometric
analysis of MDS, and apoptosis. The classes are grouped according to
training and experience to ensure an optimal learning experience. Therefore
it is appropriate for beginners and advanced flow people. The faculty

classes are grouped according to training (Med-tech verses MD/Ph.D) and
experience. The teachers know the experience level ahead of time and tailor
the class to the group.
