Abstract:
Development and maintenance of laboratory training programs can be a challenging task. Though laboratory management generally understands the necessity for such programs, training is often not consistent nor sufficiently comprehensive, with the result that it is frequently cited as a deficiency in laboratory audits.
A well-defined and documented laboratory technician training program is essential, with the overarching goals being to cultivate competent and well-trained employees, and to establish a role-based training matrix so that supervisors can ensure employees develop the skills necessary to perform their assigned tasks.
We will discuss how to develop this essential blueprint for a laboratory training program, then move to how to maintain the program once established. We will also address the value of engaging with a consulting partner that can provide the momentum necessary to ensure project completion, as well as additional tools that will jumpstart your lab's training program.
