Blog Post Title: CDC Offers Laboratory Learning and Testing Support
Written by: CDC OneLab™
In an emergency response, it's critical that laboratory and other testing professionals have the most current, accurate, and relevant information. CDC created OneLab REACH™ in response to the growing need for centralized, up-to-date laboratory education and training materials.
OneLab Rapid Education and Capacity-building Hub (REACH) is a customized learning management system (LMS) specifically for laboratory professionals and the testing community. OneLab REACH offers free eLearning and virtual reality courses, printable and video job aids, and continuing education credit (including P.A.C.E.®). OneLab REACH gives laboratory professionals and the testing community direct access to resources that support their current and future emergency response efforts.
So, what sets OneLab REACH apart, and why should you sign up? Medical testing in and outside of laboratories is just as critical as the work of clinicians to diagnosing disease and supporting public health. OneLab REACH is unique because it contains information just for laboratory professionals and testers, customized for your needs. The LMS will equip you with resources that help you do your job safely and consistently.
Using OneLab REACH also makes training more efficient. The system has an easy-to-use, intuitive user interface and houses resources on diagnostic testing, safety, preparedness, core science, informatics, and packing and shipping. Many courses offer free P.A.C.E.® credit!
So, what are you waiting for? Sign up for OneLab REACH to access these resources today!
Want to engage further? As part of OneLab Network, you can be part of a peer-to-peer laboratory learning community and collaborate with other clinical and public health laboratory professionals and CDC.

If you perform or coordinate testing at a non-laboratory site, OneLab TEST is the community for you! Join OneLab TEST to find training resources and access a diverse, interconnected community of testers.
