Hospital laboratories in Georgia need continuing education in chemistry and hematology. Case study training via paper and computer, with Professional Acknowledgement for Continuing Education (P.A.C.E.), is desired.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Laboratory Science
  • Continuing Education
  • Healthcare Workforce Development

Background:

  • Hospital-based laboratories require specialized training to meet evolving healthcare demands.
  • Cross-training initiatives are crucial for enhancing laboratory efficiency and adaptability.
  • The State of Georgia has a need to define specific continuing education requirements for its laboratory professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key continuing education topics in chemistry and hematology.
  • To determine preferred training methods for hospital-based laboratories in Georgia.
  • To support the cross-training needs of the laboratory workforce.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study surveyed 181 hospital laboratory managers and administrators in Georgia.
