Blog Post Title: CDC Offers Laboratory Learning and Testing Support

Written by: CDC OneLab^TM

In an emergency response, it’s critical that laboratory and other testing professionals have the most current, accurate, and relevant information. CDC created OneLab REACH^TM in response to the growing need for centralized, up-to-date laboratory education and training materials.

OneLab Rapid Education and Capacity-building Hub (REACH) is a customized learning management system (LMS) specifically for laboratory professionals and the testing community. OneLab REACH offers free eLearning and virtual reality courses, printable and video job aids, and continuing education credit (including P.A.C.E.^®). OneLab REACH gives laboratory professionals and the testing community direct access to resources that support their current and future emergency response efforts.

So, what sets OneLab REACH apart, and why should you sign up? Medical testing in and outside of laboratories is just as critical as the work of clinicians to diagnosing disease and supporting public health. OneLab REACH is unique because it contains information just for laboratory professionals and testers, customized for your needs. The LMS will equip you with resources that help you do your job safely and consistently.

Using OneLab REACH also makes training more efficient. The system has an easy-to-use, intuitive user interface and houses resources on diagnostic testing, safety, preparedness, core science, informatics, and packing and shipping. Many courses offer free P.A.C.E.^® credit!

Written by: CDC OneLab^TM

[Customize with appropriate job titles: pharmacy staff, health professionals, school administrators, employee health coordinators, etc.] and others who perform or coordinate diagnostic testing in non-laboratory settings play a vital role in preventing and controlling disease. CDC developed OneLab TEST, the newest element of CDC OneLab^TM, in response to the increasing need to expand access to diagnostic testing.

A unified response to shared goals
OneLab TEST (Timely Education and Support of Testers) is a community of practice (CoP) designed to strengthen connections between the testing community and CDC. This CoP includes healthcare professionals, who perform tests in office settings, as well as individuals — often volunteers — who perform testing in non-laboratory settings, such as schools and drive-through sites. OneLab TEST members can access free CDC resources, including toolkits, job aids, training, and webinars.

“OneLab TEST aims to meet the most urgent training needs of testers and provide a collaborative network where they can connect, train, and build community,” says Kelly Winter, PhD, MPH, CDC Division of Laboratory Systems Training and Workforce Development branch (TWDB) chief. “TWDB seeks to continually fill training gaps, facilitate peer-to-peer connection, and enhance learning for this new community of practice.”

Supporting a diverse learning community
Testing professionals and volunteers, with or without a medical background, can benefit from joining OneLab TEST. OneLab TEST is open to individuals who work in non-laboratory settings, including:

Clinics and physician offices
Pharmacies
Long-term care or assisted living facilities
Health departments
Drive-through or workplace testing sites
Schools
