Webinar: Changes in LRN Sentinel Lab Protocols

Join us as Dr. Jim Snyder from the University leads this essential update on Laboratory Response Network (LRN) Sentinel Laboratory protocols. Co-sponsored by APHL and the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), this webinar focuses on recent modifications to key procedures that impact sentinel laboratory operations.

Dr. Snyder will walk through important protocol changes, provide practical guidance for implementation, and discuss how these updates strengthen our laboratory response capabilities. In a time when public health systems face increasing demands, aligning local lab procedures with national standards is more critical than ever.

The webinar will also highlight best practices for introducing these updates smoothly, including how to avoid common missteps and ensure staff compliance. For labs operating in diverse communities, it’s also worth considering how cultural practices might influence communication or adoption of safety protocols.

Perfect for sentinel laboratory staff who need to stay current with LRN requirements and procedures. The session will include time for Q&A to address specific questions about adopting these new protocols in your laboratory. Whether you’re a laboratory director, supervisor, or bench scientist, this webinar will help ensure your sentinel laboratory stays aligned with current LRN standards—and offers a reminder of how we can each contribute to health advocacy through consistent and informed practice.
