Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM)

Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM) is a global scientific and medical professional organization dedicated to clinical laboratory science and its application to healthcare. Founded in 1948 by nine New York City hospital laboratorians as the American Association of Clinical Chemists, the organization was rebranded to ADLM in July 2023 to better reflect its expanded scope and global influence. ADLM serves as the premier global organization leading the way for people to get the care they need through high quality, accurate, and timely lab test results. The association unites more than 70,000 clinical laboratory professionals, physicians, research scientists, and business leaders from 110 countries around the world. ADLM members come from all areas of lab medicine including clinical and research laboratories, diagnostic companies, government agencies, and original equipment manufacturers. The organization focuses on diverse subdisciplines including clinical chemistry, molecular diagnostics, mass spectrometry, clinical microbiology, translational medicine, lab management, and data science. ADLM holds several scientific conferences each year, with the largest being the ADLM Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo, first held in 1949 and now attracting an average of 20,000 participants. The organization provides leadership in education, advocacy, and collaboration to help lab professionals adapt to change and provide vital insight and guidance so patients get the care they need. ADLM publishes Clinical Chemistry journal and Clinical Laboratory News magazine, and operates various educational programs including certificate programs and webinars to advance scientific collaboration, knowledge, expertise, and innovation in laboratory medicine.
