Pittcon 2013: Short Courses
Oct 16 2012
The Pittcon Organising Committee is pleased to announce the listing for the 2013 Short Course program which runs March 16 through March 21, 2013. Short Courses are taught by industry experts; range from half-day up to two-day classes; and include beginner, intermediate, and advanced level curricula.
This year, 58 new courses were added in the fields of environmental, food, life, and pharmaceutical sciences; data analysis; chromatography; lab management; and analytical methods. There will be a special emphasis on nanotechnology with courses covering nanomaterials, health/safety, and nanotechnology in life science. A number of new titles will be offered in communications such as writing grants, understanding social media, creating presentations and public speaking.
Another noteworthy addition for 2013 is that water and waste wate roperators can earn contact hours by attending select Pittcon Short Courses. For each hour of instruction, the attendee will receive one contact hour.
Lab management courses are a significant part of the program and provide critical insight into the interpretation of the requirements of regulatory aspects, global guidelines, and laboratory standards such as ISO.IEC 17025:2005.
Short Course Chairman Heather Juzwa commented, "Short Courses play an important role in the Pittcon experience for our attendees. Our courses help laboratory personnel to understand current industry trends, prepare them for the challenges of changing environments, and assist with achieving educational and developmental career goals."
The deadline for discounted Short Course registration fees is February 18, and prices range from $260 to $925. For more information, visit pittcon.org.
