Training is available for all levels of experience, and learners can choose to build from one level to the next:
-
Beginner: CM workforce that does not have NGS equipment.
-
Intermediate: CM workforce that acquired a NGS sequencer during the COVID-19 pandemic.
-
Advanced: CM workforce that had NGS experience pre-pandemic and is actively involved in sequencing.
-
Expert: Bioinformatics partners who already work on human genomics and would benefit from education on infectious disease applications of NGS. The content is intermediate and advanced.

The first 850 individuals who register for each live webinar will be provided login specifics. Note: room capacity is 500. The reason for this is based on earlier events and a much lower attendance than those who registered. It is to accommodate changes in plans, and to ensure those who are available can access the event.
Webinars will begin promptly at 2:00 p.m. ET. If you are unable to access a room, webinars will be recorded and made available 7 business days after each event.
