Online, On-Demand Webinars for Laboratorians World-Wide

The Spanish version of these programs are made available by the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation

As part of AACC’s continuing efforts to provide continuing education to laboratorians world-wide, we are developing a series of free, online, on-demand webinars on a variety of topics. This series of education events is intended primarily for those outside of North America. Those who will find these programs valuable include laboratory technologists, managers, administrators and directors, pathologists, public health professionals and those in related fields.

Importance of Continuing Education Credit
AACC is committed to developing, organizing and implementing high-quality continuing education (CE) activities in collaboration with laboratorians world-wide. In addressing CE needs, AACC offers diverse programming that reinforces the importance and awareness of life-long learning, self-motivation and self-assessment. Areas covered can include, but are not limited to, basic science concepts, clinical practices, laboratory management and clinical guidelines.

Participating in continuing education shows a commitment to your professional, knowledge, skill, job satisfaction and patient-related outcomes. As clinical laboratory medicine is a constantly changing environment, it makes CE even more important to insure that best practices are applied to patient care. You are encouraged to complete evaluations on our series of programs so that you can document the hours of CE you receive each year as well as provide us feedback through the program’s evaluation.

Each program has a link to an online evaluation form. After completing the evaluation form you will be able to download and ACCENT credit certification form.
