Interactive Amazing Lab Race Returns to ASCP KnowledgeLab Conference

The Amazing Lab Race, a highly engaging live education event for laboratory leaders, leverages the format of the Amazing Race to bring awareness and application of the ASCP Negotiation and Advocacy Toolbox to laboratory advocacy efforts. This Toolbox provides clinical laboratory leaders with more than 100 free templates, tools, and resources developed and vetted by ASCP members, to adapt for a data-driven approach to advocating for their laboratory to C-Suite and hospital administration.  

The Amazing Lab Race competition first debuted at KnowledgeLab 2024 in San Antonio, Texas, where clinical laboratory leaders Stephanie Whitehead and Brittany Teeter brought home the Race trophy. Since then, Amazing Lab Races have been conducted at regional and national ASCP meetings in Chicago, IL, and Verona, NY, and have been shown to be an interactive and fun way to navigate the Toolbox materials, identify tools and resources of interest for advocacy efforts, and apply them to practical scenarios facing laboratory leaders.  

The Amazing Lab Race will be showcased at ASCP’s upcoming KnowledgeLab 2025 meeting as the closing general session on Tuesday, April 8:, “Amazing Lab Race 2025: Scottsdale, AZ – Building a High-Value Lab: Leveraging the Negotiation & Advocacy Toolbox to Win Leadership Investment.” ASCP encourages all new and seasoned laboratory leaders attending the meeting to participate in this unique and empowering event!
