Various examples of professional roles of clinical biochemists/laboratory doctors are presented, either by lecturers sharing their personal academic road or by lecturers presenting how they manage important tasks being a specialist in clinical biochemistry. There are 3 sessions with topics within basic clinical biochemistry, laboratory operation and development and leadership and communication. Most lecturers are well known experts within their specific field and will present themselves and their professional role in combination with their specific topic.
