Simplifying Automation in Hematology
About This Course
LIVE ZOOM PRESENTION ON JULY 29TH AT 10 a.m.
Do you ever look at the scatter plot that comes with the results of a CBC (complete blood count)? Be honest 🙂 In MLT school we learned how to read one and its usefulness but can you interpret one now? An automated CBC analyzer is the foundation of a modern diagnostic laboratory but few know how one works and that can affect our ability to properly interpret or validate a patient’s CBC. To give our patients the best care, it is important for us to review automation in hematology and Becky Socha is the ideal medical laboratory scientist to help us.
Becky Socha earned her BS in Medical technology from Merrimack College in North Andover, Massachusetts and completed her MS at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell. Over her career, she has worked in all areas of the clinical laboratory and has also been teaching at the university level for the past 25 years. She has taught Hematology and Transfusion Medicine as well as Pathophysiology, Anatomy and Physiology and Public Health. She currently is a MLSIII in Hematology at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland. Ms. Socha is passionate about education and keeping current with changes in the Medical Laboratory field. You can find her monthly blogs posted on Lablogatory, ASCP’s online blog for medical laboratory professionals. When she’s not busy being a mad scientist she can be found outside riding her bicycle.
