The Clinical Cytometry Society presents a Annual Clinical Flow Cytometry course that offers an intensive review of the most common clinical applications of flow cytometry. The course is being presented in Keystone, CO from October 11-13, 2002 and immediately precedes the CCS meeting at the 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.
