OneLab Network is a collaborative community of public health and clinical laboratory professionals and CDC.  Through OneLab Network, laboratory professionals can connect with each other and CDC through live events and access customized laboratory training resources.  

OneLab Network provides:  

• Training resources: free clinical and public health laboratory-relevant webinars, video job aids, eLearning, and virtual reality courses  

• CDC laboratory training experts: a direct channel for laboratory professionals to share their training needs with CDC instructional designers   

• Community of practice: a peer-to-peer learning community of laboratory professionals  

OneLab Network is part of CDC OneLab.  

CDC developed OneLab in 2021 to unite clinical and public health laboratory professionals and the testing community to improve training for public health emergencies.    

OneLab Network aims to meet laboratory learners’ most urgent training needs and collectively support rapid, large-scale emergency responses:  

• Identify and respond to feedback from laboratory professionals    

• Share free training resources to help learners respond to laboratory challenges  

• Connect laboratories to exchange lessons learned and best practices  

All public health or clinical laboratory professionals who would like increased access to laboratory education and training resources are welcome to join OneLab Network! 

Most OneLab Network members are responsible for education and training within clinical laboratory professional organizations, commercial laboratories, hospital systems, and public health laboratories.  

If you perform or coordinate testing at non-laboratory sites, we invite you to join OneLab TEST.
