Laboratory Diagnosis of Bacterial STIs is a self-paced, 6-hour CPD course for laboratory professionals focused on accurate, reliable detection of gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, bacterial vaginosis, and chancroid. Across four concise topics, you will cover epidemiology and risk factors, best-practice specimen collection and transport, pathogen-specific diagnostic methods (NAATs, culture, microscopy, serology), and quality control with emerging technologies. Learning assets include short presentations, microlearning activities, and a discussion forum. To complete the course and earn 6 CPD points, achieve ≥80% on the final quiz (multiple attempts allowed). By the end, you will confidently select appropriate specimens, apply the right tests, interpret results, and uphold QC standards in routine practice.
