The College of American Pathologists (CAP) hosted a virtual forum addressing the Rapidly Changing COVID-19 Testing Landscape, the fourth in a series of ongoing media briefings and the first in 2021. View the full briefing program video recording.
“With Americans now getting the vaccine, testing remains a critical element as we navigate our new normal,” says CAP President Patrick Godbey, MD, FCAP, laboratory director, Southeastern Pathology Associates and Southeast Georgia Health System who introduced the program and was a panelist. “Today’s forum specifically addressed the role of at-home tests, new variants, the impact of deferred care due to COVID-19 and the health disparities we continue to see as the vaccine rolls out. This is a discussion we will continue to have to ensure efficient and effective turnaround of testing and fair, equitable care.”
The session was moderated by Kisha A. Mitchell Richards, MD, FCAP, Director of Pathology and Laboratory, Greenwich (Connecticut) Hospital
