The Clinical Laboratory Leadership and Management Certificate Program is an online learning program for laboratory professionals who want to improve their management skills. The program is composed of six courses which can be completed online in 1-4 hours each.  Each course contains a lecture, required reading, and quiz, and may include case studies, practical exercises, glossary, and resource materials.  There are opportunities for interaction with faculty and other participants using the program’s dedicated listserv. You can earn 12 continuing education units for completing the entire program.
