The Keystone Point of Care Coordinators Group (KEYPOCC) is hosting two in-person meetings this year. We are very sorry that it has taken this long after the global pandemic to get ourselves together in order to plan meetings. As many of you are likely experiencing, the phenomenon of catching up after getting several years behind on new POCT projects has taken its toll and we miss meeting with our amazing community of KEYPOCC members and vendor partners.
We are very excited to put these two meetings together and to have the honor of recruiting subject matter experts across the field of Molecular Diagnostics.
That's right, we'll be focusing on the Hot Topic of Molecular assays and diagnostic testing strategies.
