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 final session, international laboratory scientists who have navigated career transitions into the US laboratory workforce will be featured. This 90-minute webinar session will feature 4 esteemed panelists sharing a bit about their career trajectory. In addition, two special featured sessions on immigration processes and policies to support laboratory scientists wanting to become members of the US laboratory workforce will be presented. The session will conclude with a moderated Question and Answer session.  

Live attendance at this webinar will be eligible for 1.5 CMLE credits (available for up to 1-month following the webinar date).
