Introduction to Good Clinical Laboratory Practice

Free, online, open access training course
Evidence based medical care underlies every Good Clinical Practice. Laboratory medicine is a critical component of disease prevention and management within this paradigm. While the need for training in laboratory processes is well recognised but prohibitively costly, we can contribute to Global Health by sharing knowledge, best practices and making laboratory materials that are universally acceptable, openly available. This is a community of laboratory scientists from around the world, building and supporting laboratory capacity globally by sharing and networking together.
Welcome to this resource for researchers and personnel working in laboratories. We provide free articles, online seminars, e-learning tools, blogs, forum discussions, etc., in order to support research and encourage collaborations. You can read more here.
