Westgard interview on the web

Posted by Sten Westgard

Back at the 2008 AACC conference in Washington, DC, Dr. Westgard sat down for an hour with some friends from COLA. They interviewed him on a number of topics, from his personal story and the journey of his career in laboratory medicine, to the origin and use of the "Westgard Rules."

You can see the first part of this video interview on the Advance website, sponsored by COLA.

The release of this interview coincides with the run-up to COLA's Symposium for Clinical Laboratories. Dr. Westgard will give the keynote address for this symposium and he will join experts like Lucia Berte, Greg Cooper, Judy Yost, and many others, to discuss quality and laboratory medicine. This symposium is taking place on September 25th through the 27th, in Scottsdale, Arizona.

I believe more excerpts of this interview will be posted soon, but they may not be up for long. So if you want to actually see Westgard on the Web, do it ASAP.
