Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine

Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine is a global scientific and medical professional organization dedicated to clinical laboratory science and its application to healthcare. Founded in 1948 as the American Association for Clinical Chemistry, ADLM was rebranded in recent years to better reflect its expanded scope in diagnostics and laboratory medicine. The organization 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. ADLM unites more than 70,000 clinical laboratory professionals, physicians, research scientists, and business leaders from 110 countries around the world. The association's community is at the forefront of laboratory medicine's diverse subdisciplines, including clinical chemistry, molecular diagnostics, mass spectrometry, clinical microbiology, and data science. ADLM 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. The organization holds several scientific conferences each year, with the largest being the ADLM Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo, which attracts an average of 20,000 participants and features more than 750 exhibitors. This flagship event, first held in 1949, showcases vital research in laboratory medicine and important updates in the field. ADLM also publishes Clinical Chemistry journal, an international peer-reviewed publication launched in 2016, and Clinical Laboratory News, the leading nonprofit monthly news magazine in the field. The association operates various programs including science and practice initiatives, government affairs, and the Global Lab Quality Initiative which partners with national societies to improve laboratory testing quality worldwide.
