Competency Guidelines for Public Health Laboratory Professionals

Even though this APHL / CDC publication emphasizes public health laboratory practice, it could have broader applicability across the general lab community. Free digital copies are available, and hard copies can be ordered from CDC.

Lab Informatics Self-Assessment Tool

Laboratory professionals can use the results of the self-assessment to gauge informatics capabilities and gaps, prioritize the use of existing resources, and to document and communicate informatics priorities to policy makers. Now a web-based tool for easier access.
