The CDC OneLab Initiative is an effort to bridge, train, and sustain a capacity-building community (OneLab Network) among public health and clinical laboratory professionals to support rapid, large-scale responses to public health emergencies. This effort includes developing a new learning management system for laboratory professionals (OneLab REACHTM). This includes a new virtual reality (VR) environment for clinical and public health laboratory trainings (OneLab VR) with both discrete scenarios and an open platform training format, featuring a 50,000-square foot virtual laboratory facility. OneLab REACH also provides the ability to opt‐in for access to an educational hub of training resources for professionals and volunteers performing CLIA‐waived point‐of‐care diagnostic testing in non‐laboratory settings (OneLab TEST).
