In the final session, international laboratory scientists who have navigated career transitions into the US laboratory workforce will be featured. This 90-minute webinar session will feature 4 esteemed panelists highlighting their career trajectory. In addition, the session will feature two sessions on immigration processes and policies to support laboratory scientists navigating international career transitions from the perspectives of an immigration lawyer and ASCP’s Center of Public Policy. The session will conclude with a moderated Question and Answer session. We encourage all ASCP members to share promotions on this series widely with their trainees, students, and others who may be interested in entering the US laboratory workforce or navigating career transitions within the laboratory workforce!
