Welcome to the ASLM Academy

The ASLM Academy is a platform where medical laboratory professionals from Africa and across the globe can access online, face-to face training and information packages that can be used towards continuous professional development. The ASLM Academy focuses on delivering practical, problem-solving learning packages that support the advancement of knowledge and skills in laboratory medicine. It does not replace formal pre-service education, rather it assists in recognising the value of various in-service trainings for individual career development. The ASLM Academy is taking inventory of ongoing training and knowledge packages from partners, and offers them to our members as online or face-to-face courses through the ASLM website, programs and networks. ASLM will recognize laboratory professionals attending series of pre-defined trainings or relevant information sessions provided as part of the Academy.
