This half-day (afternoon) session is designed for active inspectors & trainees to maintain their active status, although anyone is welcome to attend. Topics presented will include the most common deficiencies found during inspections, an introduction of the Accreditation Review Board (ARB) and its functions, and a panel discussion from a task force working on guidelines for laboratories in the "hot topic" areas of PT, nomenclature, and competency assessment.
