The Education committee is divided into four subcommittees that work on producing a variety of types of educational content for ICCS members.
Four newsletters are released annually, and include invited articles on a wide range of topics and a Case Study Interpretation (CSI) case. The Fall issue of the newsletter will be released soon, and contains the ICCS 2016 annual meeting plenary reports, Part II in the series on managing a flow lab: CAP readiness from Jolene Cardinali and Bruce Grieg, and an article about flow cytometry for Sezary cells from Pedro Horna. If you have an interesting case to share, please follow the link from the ICCS home page to the CSI case submission portal.
The video subcommittee has just completed a video about light chain assessment for B-cells, which will soon join the other videos available to members on the ICCS website: B-cell maturation, the blasts cell gate and plasma cells. Also visit the website for a selection of online presentations, including the most recently posted presentation by Weina Chen on immunophenotyping B-cell neoplasms.
The new e-learning subcommittee is creating materials that will get you involved in performing a learning activity and then testing your knowledge, and could be used in the future to obtain continuing education credits. Stay tuned for the first ICCS e-learning activity about acute myeloid leukemia.
Have a Question about flow, we’ll provide the Answer. The Q&A subcommittee has recently posted answers to two new questions about optical alignment and PNH reporting. Also, let us know if you’d like to get involved in writing answers to posted questions.
