The PHL Training Program has been conducting extensive laboratory training since it moved to the current facility in 1985. The facility includes a 1,035-square-foot training laboratory complex, a classroom that seats 24 people and three conference rooms. Four full-time staff members are dedicated to providing the training activities. The PHL training staff develops and presents training courses for internal and external laboratory personnel. As a member of the National Laboratory Training Network, operated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Association of State and Territorial Public Health Laboratory Directors, the PHL Training program brings national training programs to Washington State.
