Building Bridges Series Illuminates Laboratory Careers

The popular ASCP webinar series, Building Bridges Across the Laboratory Community (Building Bridges), kicked off its third series of webinars on February 12 with free registration available here.  

This year’s series will focus on highlighting the diverse array of laboratory career pathways and how exposure to formative experiences can shape these laboratory career trajectories. This multi-part series will feature five esteemed panelists per webinar session followed by a moderated Question & Answer session. Live attendance at each webinar session will confer 1.5 hours of CMLE credit.  

The goals of the series are to: 1) elevate the visibility of laboratory career pathways, 2) encourage those considering laboratory careers or navigating career changes to better understand and actualize career paths from peers, and 3) promote retention of the laboratory workforce through collaborative, enriching, and community-building discussion.  

The first webinar featured career trajectories of laboratory professionals in executive leadership positions across laboratory and healthcare systems and drew in over 300 attendees. The video recording of this inaugural webinar as well as the webinar presentation and supporting materials are freely available here.
