How do you and your lab staff prepare for proficiency testing challenges? How do you hone your knowledge about organisms you don’t encounter often?
CMPT’s Professional Development course helps laboratory professionals expand and refine their knowledge of important organisms, leveraging our past year of proficiency testing challenges and our expert technical committees. Proficiency testing challenges from the previous program-year are hand selected and annotated with relevant information about identification, antimicrobial susceptibility, clinical relevance, and more to construct this valuable course. Our expert committees work in labs across Canada, and provide detailed information about each challenge, including tips for tricky identifications and advice about protocols for testing and reporting.
Every year, the course presents new information based on the last year’s challenges. If you have taken the course before, it’s worth taking again!
The course is 100% online and self-paced, so you can learn when you have time.
