    Area of Science:

    • Medical Laboratory Science
    • Continuing Professional Development

    Background:

    • Effective continuing education is crucial for laboratory professionals to maintain and enhance skills.
    • Evaluating the impact of diverse educational methods on cognitive and behavioral changes is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the effectiveness of the Laboratory Education for North Dakota (LEND) program.
    • To analyze the influence of institutional size, participant education, topic, and participation type on learning outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • 133 laboratory workers from 60 institutions participated in the LEND program.
    • The program incorporated self-instructional programs (SIPs), telelectures, and workshops.
    • Cognitive and behavioral changes were measured to evaluate program effectiveness.

    Main Results:

    • Institutional size did not significantly impact cognitive change but influenced behavioral change.
    • Participant educational level affected pretest scores but not significantly post-test scores.
    • Quality assurance and microbiology topics yielded more behavioral changes; wet workshops correlated with increased behavioral changes.

    Conclusions:

    • The LEND program demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing laboratory professionals' skills.
    • Hands-on workshops and specific topics significantly influenced behavioral outcomes.
    • Cognitive and behavioral changes did not always align, highlighting the complexity of educational impact evaluation.
