Laboratory medicine has a poor record bringing new tests to market in a timely and effective way. Evidence based laboratory medicine (EBLM) provides the underlying principles for how a new biomarker should go through the test evaluation process but these principles alone do not appear to have guided better evaluation. This course aims to address that gap by extending the principles of EBLM to provide some practical tools for the key processes of test evaluation.
Key features of 2½ day course:
The course will be interactive and talks by keynote speakers will be followed by practical assignments.
- Test evaluation – definitions and basic concepts
