How to Be a Leader: Striking a Balance Between Technical & People Skills - a podcast by CAP

Leading a laboratory involves both technical knowledge and softer skills: technical knowledge of testing and accreditation is needed along with the ability to manage people, perform risk assessment, and deal with finances and budgeting. Many pathologists leave training with the required technical knowledge but sometimes lack training and confidence in the “softer” skills. The CAP’s Laboratory Medical Direction course is led by experienced laboratory directors who can help correct gaps in your knowledge and improve your ability to function as a lab director. In this CAPcast, leading pathologists Dr. Elizabeth Wagar and Dr. Richard Scanlan discuss the benefits of attending the course, which will be held April 30-May 1 in Chicago: https://capatholo.gy/2mVcxrh.
