Abbot IFCC Visiting Lecturer Program (VLP)

• The Mission of the EMD is to promote and share
  knowledge and skills (professional, technical,
  managerial and educational) in Clinical Chemistry
  with all National Societies of the IFCC.
• EMD aims to use the VLP to fulfill this mission
  for as many IFCC members as possible, especially
  those in developing countries.
• In general, the VLP will advise on expert
  lecturers for topics and funds the travel for the
  lecturer
• Considerations Language, multiple
  presentations, collaboration between
• countries
