    Medical Laboratory Practices and Management Course

    The Medical Laboratory Practices and Management Course contributes to improved health through competency-based training of medical laboratory supervisors.

    Course Overview

    Medical laboratories in Africa are managed by laboratory technical staff, many of whom have not received adequate training in all aspects of laboratory Quality Management Systems (QMS). Currently, many medical laboratories are preparing for national or international accreditation, and in some countries this is becoming a requirement for registration, making the training of laboratory supervisors and managers of paramount importance. The Medical Laboratory Practices and Management Course is designed to prepare laboratory managers to ensure laboratories meet accepted standards in all aspects of laboratory operation and provide quality and reliable diagnostic services to communities.

    Target Group

    Laboratory staff with diploma level training or above with at least two years’ practical experience, including responsibilities in laboratory management and staff supervision.

    Goal

    The Medical Laboratory Practices and Management Course contributes to improved health through competency-based training of medical laboratory supervisors.

    • Discuss principles of quality management systems
    • Demonstrate knowledge and skills in effective laboratory documentation and personnel management
    • Employ knowledge and skills in the management of laboratory resources
