Point of Care Group Webinars: Speakers and Topics

Whitehat produces webinars for the hospital laboratory and point of care community across the US. These educational sessions present a wide range of educational and practical topics chosen by the groups themselves. The educational segments are delivered by respected experts, and offer continuing education credits to attendees. These free sessions are funded by our supportive family of vendors and give our affiliated point of care groups the opportunity to communicate, discuss, and share knowledge on a regular basis.
