In spite of expressed need by employers and technologists, there are very few management curricula that focus on this workplace environment. These laboratories are dedicated to the diagnosis of disease as well as the full range of basic and clinical research and development.

Our partner in this initiative is the School of Professional Studies (SPS) of the City University of NY ( ). Laboratory personnel may wish to move to management positions in the institutions where they work, or seek positions in other environments.
