HIGHLIGHTS
Quiz Busters: So You Think
You Know Microbiology
TUESDAY, MAY 20
2:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. | Meeting Room 253B
This is the ultimate test of knowledge for the
clinical microbiologist. Four teams representing
regional microbiology societies will vie for
the title of “Expert” as they answer questions
on current infectious disease problems,
outbreaks, taxonomy, and identification
methods. The quiz will cover case studies and
diagnostic puzzles that supervisors and lab
directors should be able to solve. This question
and answer format will allow the audience to
test their knowledge of what’s new in clinical
microbiology. Quiz questions are intended to
present real-life problems and reflect current
clinical and public health infectious disease
issues. Lessons learned from teaching points
and discussion can be applied to their laboratory
testing.
