Part 2: Tips and Tools for Training and Competency with Clinical LC-MS

Shannon Haymond (Presenter)
Northwestern University FSM

Authorship: Shannon Haymond

Short Abstract

One of the key considerations and potential areas of apprehension for implementing liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is staff training. The number of laboratory staff with exposure to LC or MS/MS is relatively limited, and even fewer have experience with clinical applications of LC-MS/MS. This session will introduce our approach for training staff and assessing competency, following current best practices. An interactive component will provide tools participants may apply to their own lab operation.
