Dear colleagues,

Best of AACC is a program aimed at providing highlights of AACC’s scientific and educational symposia around the world. I invite you to join us March 23–24, 2017 at our next stop for the Best of AACC Middle East  in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
 
AACC is a global scientific and medical professional organization dedicated to clinical laboratory science and its application to healthcare. AACC provides essential content, conducts advocacy and outreach, and stimulates collaboration to help lab professionals adapt to change and provide vital clinical insight and guidance so patients get the care they need. Delivering high quality education and knowledge resources is integral to this mission. AACC offers more than 60 educational programs annually, including the AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo, which is attended by 20,000 laboratory medicine professionals and healthcare leaders, and features more than 730 exhibitors, 200 educational sessions, and nearly 800 scientific abstracts.
 
In 2016, Best of AACC held conferences in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and in Shanghai and Shenzhen, China, that explored topics ranging from cardiac markers to HIV testing. The upcoming conference in the UAE will feature a selection of AACC’s latest groundbreaking laboratory medicine content, presented by internationally recognized speakers. I am pleased to share that this will be the first time AACC has offered educational programing in the Middle East.
 
We at AACC hope to see you in Abu Dhabi and look forward to continuing to expand our educational programs in laboratory medicine to benefit healthcare professionals throughout this region.
