Here's a more complete schedule for "The Tenth Annual Clinical Course on Flow
and Image Cytometry," which is being held this year at Dartmouth Medical
School in New Hampshire, USA from July 27 to August 1. This is a course (not a
meeting) and includes hands-on laboratory work in small groups (6-8 students
per group), expert lectures, and opportunities for informal discussion. Total
enrollment limited to 40-50 students. Emphasis will be on basic theory as well
as its practical application in the clinical laboratory. (Up to 40 hours
continuing medical education credit is available.)
