OUR ORGANIZATION

The group was formed in March 2006 at the Annual AMMI Canada – CACMID Meeting with the following goals:

  • Develop an integrated national network of clinical microbiology laboratory experts to support molecular diagnostics by collaboration and communication through discussion groups and an annual fall meeting.

  • Make recommendations, set guidelines and develop proficiency and policy regarding molecular microbiology testing.

  • Develop processes for sharing methods, specimens, data and information.


Benefits envisioned by NMG include:

  • Clinical molecular diagnostics method development, method troubleshooting, and method discussion and evaluation.

  • Reduced duplication of effort.

  • Enhanced support for laboratories through enhanced collaboration.

  • Enhanced connectivity through collaboration.

  • Progress for standardization and proficiency in clinical molecular diagnostics.

  • Collaborative efforts to establish a proficiency program.

  • Assist each other with validation (specimens and expert advice).

  • Advise on standardization of quality control in Quality assurance programs for molecular diagnostics.

OUR MISSION

  • Develop an integrated national network of clinical microbiology laboratory experts to support molecular diagnostics using collaboration and communication.

  • Make recommendations and collaborate with groups setting standards and developing proficiency and policy.

  • Develop processes for sharing methods, specimens, data and information.
