Continuing education objectives:As a result of this workshop, participants
will (1) improve their understand of molecular diagnostic techniques
for detecting viruses, (2) develop an improved ability to select
and perform molecular methods for the diagnosis and quantitation
of viruses, and (3) improve their ability to assist clinical staff
in the proper interpretation of results obtained from molecular
virology testing.
The University of South Florida College of Medicine is accredited
by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education
to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
The Florida Board of Clinical Laboratory Personnel has approved
the
Molecular Virology Workshop for 8 CEU hours for Clinical Laboratory
Directors, Supervisors, Technicians, and Technologists. Credit
is entered through CE Broker following the Symposium.
