The Beckman Conference began in 1977 with the purpose of educating both

Conference was held on February 6 and 7, 2000, in Miami, Florida. As in
the past, the goal of this years conference was to strengthen
attendees knowledge in an area of clinical medicine.

healthcare and in professional growth of clinical chemistry.
It is a tribute to his foresight that this year's Conference
addresses 'Advances in Clinical Laboratory Hematology'.
The melding of the roles of once disparate
laboratory specialists into Clinical Laboratory Scientists is
reflected in the topics to be addressed over the next 2
days. As we build on the twin strengths of our profession,
science and technology, we see the artificial walls that
once separated laboratory areas crumble. They crumble to
the benefit of healthcare and as a paean to the advances in
scientific discoveries of the last 20 years". As condition of
the gift from the Arnold and Mabel . . . [Full Text of this Article]
