“The Professional Role of a Clinical Biochemist / Laboratory Doctor”
September 15th – 17th 2025 in Copenhagen
Objective of the course
The overall topic is to introduce various professional roles in clinical biochemistry – and to discuss what is important when searching for a professional role. 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.
After the course you have:
• Achieved knowledge regarding a wide range (arrays) of professional opportunities that exist in clinical biochemistry and the diversity
within the specialty
• Improved your ability to be critical and reflective in transitions from one role to another.
• Obtained inspiration towards your own possibilities.
• Improved your ability to ensure an efficient laboratory operation and to manage important stakeholders.
In the end the course should induce the participants to reflect on their own role and bring them one step ahead in that process.
