Transatlantic Award Lecture

The Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM) Transatlantic Lecture was inaugurated in 1998 when the National Meeting was held in Glasgow. This was the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the ADLM (previously the AACC). The procedure for selecting the Transatlantic Lecture has evolved over this time.

This award is given in alternate years.  The speaker’s expenses will cover travel (economy) plus registration and accommodation for the full meeting.

  • The ADLM President is invited to speak at the conference by the LabMed President, or to select a suitable alternative speaker.
  • The major qualification for the speaker is that he or she is a leading laboratory medicine clinical scientist or clinician from the American Continent. The person will be able to deliver a plenary lecture on a subject usually relevant to one of the themes of the conference.

  • The lecturer does not need to be a Member of ADLM nor only be resident in the USA.
