For 100 years, forward-thinking medical laboratory professionals have pioneered new concepts in diagnostic medicine. They have made it possible to sequence an entire human genome in a matter of hours, to use machine learning to predict outcomes, and to identify disease with greater efficiency and accuracy. Their work and dedication have propelled diagnostic capabilities to unforeseen heights and have improved the lives of patients by providing information that is critical to effective treatment.

Now it’s your turn. Every day, you and your colleagues strive for excellence in patient care and to advance laboratory medicine. Your efforts are making a difference in the lives of patients and will have enormous influence on the future.

In honor of the upcoming American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) Laboratory Professionals Week, with its theme, “Back to the Lab: Celebrating Our Past As We Look Into Our Future,” and in recognition of the incredible contributions laboratory professionals have made to advance diagnostic medicine and improve the lives of patients, ARUP is hosting a Lab Week “Lab of the Future” Story Contest.

What is your lab doing to forge the future of laboratory medicine? We want to hear your story and celebrate your efforts.

Winners of the contest will be featured guests on our LabMind podcast with Brian Jackson, MD, MS, medical director of Support Services, IT, and Business Development.
