Audience: The workshop is intended for emerging leaders in the embryology laboratory, but team members at all levels from the bench to laboratory directors will benefit.

Why Attend? You’ve studied hard to attain a wealth of technical knowledge and skills. You’ve progressed in your career. Now how do you motivate your team, stay in compliance, and maintain a culture of excellence, all while dealing with staffing shortages and other challenges? The CRB’s new workshop will give you tools to succeed and the opportunity to connect with peers facing the same challenges in the lab.

Continuing Education: PEER (American Board of Bioanalysis) program approval pending for 8.5 contact hours. In addition, contact hours earned can be used to satisfy CE requirements in the states of California, Florida, Louisiana, and Montana.
