A three-day management course for laboratory directors, managers, chief technologists and supervisors who run the laboratory and answer for its quality.
Weak managerial skill and staff leadership are among the biggest obstacles to excellence in the clinical laboratory. Directors, managers, chief technologists and supervisors need a working command of management principles and how they apply to laboratory medicine, and they need to refresh those skills as the environment for laboratory medicine and pathology keeps changing.
This course offers comprehensive, practical guidance on laboratory management for the 21st century. It helps the people in charge make sure the laboratory meets accepted standards in every aspect of its operation and delivers reliable diagnostic services to the people who depend on it.
Competency-based sessions using interactive teaching methods that take participants through laboratory practice and management skills. Facilitators are experienced medical laboratory experts who work as practitioners and trainers in the field. Every quarter we run one in-person cohort in Nairobi and one live online cohort, each of 5 to 30 participants.
