KnowledgeLab 2025 Brings Practical Tools to the Laboratory for Leaders and Future Leaders

KnowledgeLab is just a few weeks away, from April 7-8 in Scottsdale, Arizona. If you are a laboratory leader or an aspiring leader, this is your opportunity to expand your knowledge by learning from renowned experts in their fields and network with colleagues who are all tackling the same challenges as you. 

Attendees will learn from leaders in groups of about 30 participants and have opportunities to pose their questions directly to the presenter. Equally important are the conversations that attendees will have with each other, where they will share their own personal experiences and learn how their colleagues are addressing similar issues in their own laboratories.  

The sessions focus on topics related to laboratory leadership and management, from “growing” your own laboratory staff and programs to address the workforce shortage, to leading through change, and exploring the relationship between quality and change management while introducing tools and techniques to help you be the change-agent. 

Kamran Mirza, MD, PhD, FASCP, MLS(ASCP), will deliver the Opening Keynote Session: A Symbiotic Vision: AI and Laboratory Professionals Driving Diagnostic Innovation. His presentation demonstrates how the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into laboratory medicine is transforming diagnostics, ushering in new possibilities for precision and collaboration. This session also explores how AI can serve as a powerful partner to laboratory professionals, enhancing their expertise while maintaining the irreplaceable human touch. Through real-world examples and practical insights, this keynote will address the challenges and opportunities AI presents, emphasizing a symbiotic approach where technology and professionals work hand in hand to elevate diagnostic accuracy, streamline workflows. 

Other session topics include how to improve and sustain your laboratory stewardship program, Reimagining the laboratory practice in an evolving Healthcare Landscape, creating successful employee engagement strategies, and building a “high value” laboratory using the ASCP Negotiation and Advocacy Toolbox to win leadership Investment.
