Point of Care Testing for Infectious Disease Diagnostics with Live Q&A

Attend a keynote webinar exploring the critical role of point-of-care testing (POCT) in infectious disease diagnostics and global health improvement. Learn about recent technological advances that are bringing rapid, low-cost, hand-held testing devices closer to widespread deployment, enabling the paradigm shift toward "test and treat" in a single patient visit. Discover how miniaturization, integration of advanced technologies, and improved analytical performance characteristics are revolutionizing near-patient testing capabilities. Examine the ongoing questions surrounding laboratory oversight of near-patient testing to ensure proficiency and accuracy of test results. Gain insights from Dr. Jeanne A. Jordan, a molecular virologist with over three decades of experience in developing, validating, and implementing molecular-based tests for infectious disease diagnostics, who has served as principal investigator on federally and non-federally funded grants and spent 18 years as medical director of CLIA certified clinical labs at UPMC Magee-Women's Hospital. Participate in a live Q&A session to address specific questions about point-of-care testing implementation, challenges, and future directions in infectious disease diagnostics.
