About the Webinar

The leap from the classroom to a professional laboratory is a defining milestone for any scientist. In the African healthcare landscape, this transition offers unique opportunities—from leading point-of-care innovations to navigating resource-limited settings with technical ingenuity.

This CPD session is tailored for MLT/MLS graduates and students. We go beyond the degree to explore diverse career paths and the essential practical skills needed to excel in modern diagnostics, quality management, and global health research across the continent.
