Podcasts: Laboratory Testing

Dr. Joel Moncur is joined by a panel of distinguished experts to discuss the groundbreaking journey of molecular proficiency testing programs, including next-generation sequencing (NGS). Drs. Wayne Grody, Karl Voelkerding, and Jason Merker discuss the impact these programs have on laboratories, patient care, and regulatory compliance, as well as the role of molecular pathology in shaping the future of health care.

Drs. David Sacks and Andy Hoofnagle discuss the history and evolution of CAP's accuracy-based proficiency testing (PT) programs, which use advanced techniques to ensure lab results meet rigorous national and international standards.

Since 1989, the CAP has led the way in developing new programs to ensure the quality and accuracy of laboratory testing for infectious diseases, including SARS CoV-2, Zika testing, and more.

The CAP’s Laboratory Preparedness Exercise helps laboratories assess and enhance their readiness for bioterrorism incidents, as well as natural emergencies, disasters, and other challenging situations.
