Stats As of February 2023.
To support the development and dissemination of relevant and timely education and training resources for OneLab, CDC conducted a Training Needs Assessment in February 2021, consisting of an electronic survey and multiple focus groups.
The training needs assessment resulted in the identification of four cross-cutting needs for the clinical laboratory community, and three education and training areas of need: technical topics, preparedness and emergency operations, and crisis leadership.
In response, CDC OneLab is developing new education and training resources, and leveraging existing resources in response to findings.
