Presented By: Christina Pierre, PhD, DABCC FAACC Speaker Biography: Dr. Christina Pierre is a board-certified (ABCC) clinical chemist who is currently employed as the Director of Chemistry, Toxicology, Immunology and Urinalysis Sections at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital. She received her Ph.D. in molecular and cell biology at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. She then went on to complete a ComACC accredited clinical chemistry fellowship in the Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine at the University of Virginia, before joining Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital. She has diverse experience in multiple areas of laboratory testing including molecular diagnostics, immunohistochemistry and toxicology and in laboratory accreditation including CAP and ISO 15189. Her research interests include pre-analytical variation and diversity, equity and inclusion in laboratory medicine. Webinar: Equity in Laboratory Medicine Webinar Abstract: In spite of significant progress in disease diagnosis and treatment, racial and ethnic minorities experience lower quality of care and poorer outcomes for certain conditions than non-minorities. Sequencing of the human genome enabled scientists to re-examine the relationship between race, ethnicity and genetics and revealed that race is not an accurate representation of human genetic variation. Nevertheless, the use of race as a biological proxy persists in several areas of science and medicine. The consideration of race in clinical care is nuanced. Some argue that race serves as a proxy for underlying population genetics and is therefore clinically useful; however, in the absence of patient-specific genetic ancestry data the question of whether it is more beneficial or deleterious to use racial or ethnic groupings remains a topic of debate. This session will review the relationship between race, ethnicity and genetics and discuss the implications of the use of these categories in medicine. Earn PACE Credits: 1.
