ADLM is pleased to present Laborastories: The Podcast.
In this new series, ADLM President Dr. Octavia Peck Palmer talks with experts in laboratory medicine to learn more about the people behind clinical laboratory testing and explore both the current issues they are facing and the many ways their work impacts patient lives.
Remember – every laboratorian has a story.

The clinical laboratory scientists story
Clinical laboratory scientists play an essential role in getting patients accurate diagnoses and effective care. In this episode of Laborastories, host Dr. Octavia Peck Palmer talks with Kacy Peterson, chair of ADLM’s Clinical Laboratory Scientists Council, about what the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (formerly AACC) is doing to help clinical laboratory scientists flourish in their careers and to recruit more people to this important profession.

The Data Science Fairness Story
Healthcare professionals currently don’t have the ability to monitor whether medical artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are fair or not — a serious gap that could lead to AI exacerbating existing disparities and harming the most vulnerable patient populations. In this episode of Laborastories, host Dr. Octavia Peck Palmer talks with Dr. Mark Zaydman about this issue and about an Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (formerly AACC) competition that aims to encourage clinical labs to develop tools to meet this need.

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Story
Why are diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives critical to laboratory medicine and the achievement of health equity? Tune into this episode of Laborastories to find out, as host Dr. Octavia Peck Palmer talks with Dr. Christina Pierre about what the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (formerly AACC) is doing to align the association with DEI principles and to empower our members to put these principles into practice.

The Value of Lab Medicine Story
The clinical lab’s insights are crucial to improving patient outcomes. However, demonstrating this to providers, payers, other healthcare stakeholders, and the general public has proven to be a challenge. Join Laborastories host Dr. Octavia Peck Palmer as she talks with Dr. David Grenache about what the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (formerly AACC) is doing to make headway on this important issue—and how labs can get out there and show their value.

The Data Analytics and AI Story
Data analytics and artificial intelligence have the potential to transform, not just laboratory medicine, but healthcare around the globe. So what do lab medicine professionals need to know to start using these powerful tools? Join Laborastories host Dr. Octavia Peck Palmer as she talks with Dr. Dustin Bunch about key ethical, educational, and institutional considerations.

The Laboratory Developed Test Story
Access to laboratory developed tests can literally mean the difference between life and death for patients, but a new proposed FDA rule could prevent labs from performing these essential tests. To get our listeners up to speed on this development, Laborastories host Dr. Octavia Peck Palmer talks with Dr. Dennis Dietzen about why this proposed rule could be so damaging, and what lab medicine professionals can do to stop it.
