Overview
The interpretation of laboratory tests is often more complex than simply comparing patient results to published reference ranges. Misinterpretation of laboratory test results can lead to delayed and even inappropriate patient care, as well as wasted resources. This course will discuss the interpretation of frequently ordered and often misunderstood laboratory tests in the areas of Cellular Hematology, Cellular Immunology, Coagulation, Clinical Chemistry, and Microbiology.
This course is intended for physicians, surgeons, fellows, advanced practice provides, nurses, and laboratory professionals who are interested in understanding limitations of common laboratory test results and result interpretation.
This symposium honors the service of Klaus Mayer, MD to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and his distinguished leadership, promoting research, service, and teaching in Laboratory Medicine.
| Klaus Mayer, MD – A short biography
Dr. Klaus Mayer was an internationally recognized hematologist who was instrumental in the advancement of Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine. He received his Medical Degree from the University of Zurich and Groningen in 1950. He completed internship in Internal Medicine at the Hospital of St. Raphael in New Haven, Connecticut, and continued training at Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases as resident, chief resident, and fellow in Medicine. Dr. Mayer remained at Memorial Sloan Kettering, building an illustrious career, and rose through the ranks to Attending Physician, Department of Medicine, Memorial Hospital (1972) and Professor of Medicine at Cornell University Medical College (1979). He was appointed to many important leadership positions, including Director of the Blood Bank and Serology Laboratory at Memorial Hospital in 1966, and Director of the Hematology Laboratories in 1971, a position that he held until his retirement in 2005. In 1981, he was appointed Associate Chairman for Clinical Laboratories, now the Department of Laboratory Medicine.
Dr. Mayer’s contributions to Hematology and Blood Banking are well recognized locally, nationally and internationally, and continue to inspire individuals working in the field today. Over the years, in addition to his appointments at Memorial Hospital, Dr. Mayer held appointments at Rockefeller University Hospital, Hospital for Special Surgery, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital. He was President of the American Association of Blood Banks, chaired numerous national and international committees on standardization of Blood Banking techniques and Transfusion Medicine practice, and up until his retirement in 2005, he served as a course director for Transfusion Medicine and member of the Steering Committee of Cornell Seminars in Salzburg, Austria. Along with a small group of visionary colleagues, Dr. Mayer set the standards for the safe and effective use of blood and blood products.
Lesser known are Dr. Mayer’s contributions to the United States military. He served on active duty during World War II as part of an elite corps that was the predecessor to today’s Central Intelligence Agency. He also served as Medical Director and Colonel in the United States Public Health Service, and held the position of Colonel in the United States Army Reserve, Medical Corps.
He was a patriot, a brilliant hematologist and outstanding teacher. |
