4th CACS was attended by 30 renowned haematologists from all across Asia
After three successful CACS meets, Department of Transfusion Medicine and Immunohematology, Christian Medical College Vellore organised a series of educational programmes in the field of practical day-to-day haemostasis work, during September, 26- 27, 2014 with the theme: ‘Coagulometry- Simple modification reveals more?’
CMC Vellore Advanced Coagulometer Series – CACS, a CPDP (Continuous professional development programme) on Coagulation and coagulometer science, focussed on topics such as, complex issues related to coagulometers, clinical coagulometry, thrombosis, pre-analytical variables and interferences in hemostasis testing.
4th CACS was attended by 30 renowned haematologists from all across Asia, who presented interesting study or case or pattern that they had identified or seen at their centre, which lead them to a diagnosis or had been frequently troubling the laboratory.
Apart from the above, 4th CACS had many useful sessions that helped participants overcome many of their day-to- day issues. 4th CACS benefitted from one of the best experts from the haemostasis workbench – Prof Richard A Marlar from the University of Oklahoma, USA. He has more than 200 publications and he has authored books on topics related to regular hemostasis work. Dr Marlar shared his experiences and his challenges. Being an authority in D Dimer, the participants welcomed his insights and appreciated it as well.
4th CACS was very well received by all participants.
