ASCP has announced the 2026 edition of its virtual series, Building Bridges Across the Laboratory Community, an initiative designed to advance professional development and advocacy within the medical laboratory community. This program provides laboratory professionals with the communication frameworks necessary to amplify their visibility and demonstrate the value of the laboratory to external stakeholders. By focusing on practical strategies, the series aims to cultivate a more resilient workforce capable of navigating the complexities of the modern healthcare environment while ensuring the laboratory remains an influential pillar of patient care.  

The 2026 series include seven 90-minute webinars, each offering 1.5 CMLE credits and featuring expert-led discussions on critical industry challenges. The sessions, which run from March through September, address a broad spectrum of topics including the mitigation of public misinformation, the articulation of professional identity, and direct engagement with C-suite executives and legislative bodies on Capitol Hill. Additional modules focus on inter-organizational collaboration, patient empowerment, and strategies for bridging generational gaps within the workforce. Through this comprehensive educational outreach, ASCP remains committed to supporting laboratory leaders with the tools required to advocate for their profession and improve healthcare outcomes on a global scale.
