Description
Laboratorians are called upon to make many decisions daily – often with far-reaching impacts and outcomes. We would like to think that in the laboratory we use rational analysis to make most decisions, but the reality is that we make decisions using a combination of intuition and rational analysis. Through case examples of the types of decisions you may be called upon to make in the laboratory, this course will help you grow as a leader by focusing on constructive mindsets, effective practices, tangible processes, and practical tools that help drive good decisions and avoid common pitfalls, resulting in better patient care and more efficient laboratory operations.

This adaptive activity offers a unique learner experience. By answering a series of questions that determine your existing knowledge, you will be prescribed a customized pathway that focuses on your individual learning needs.
