01:00 Can you give us the lay of the land and explain how does the cardiovascular laboratory provide patient care?

05:56 Can you talk about bringing these people into the laboratory and developing a test that provides a lot of value to patients? How is that blended and what’s the output?

07:31 Talking about meetings that you guys do -- how is this meeting not some hierarchy of people who come together? How do these meetings work as an interprofessional utopia?   

11:21 How do you keep your clinical colleagues educated about laboratory science?

14:25 Are other laboratories adopting this leadership model?

15:42 What have you learned about establishing the culture and getting them to understand what the plan is?

17:59 Turning to medical laboratory scientists, what’s your pitch for why they should go into clinical chemistry?
