Building Bridges Across the Laboratory Community: At-the-Bench: Clinical Laboratories Feature :
The ASCP Building Bridges Across the Laboratory Community webinar series seeks to highlight and identify opportunities for collaboration and partnership (“building bridges”) across the laboratory workforce.
In our 2025 series, we further focus on highlighting the diverse array of laboratory career pathways and how exposure to formative experiences, often through collaborations, partnerships, and unique training opportunities, can shape these laboratory career trajectories.
In the second session, laboratory professionals across dynamically varied roles supporting clinical laboratory testing will be featured. This 90-minute webinar session will feature 5 esteemed panelists sharing a bit about their career trajectory, as well as a moderated Question and Answer session.
