Dear colleagues,

The Hopkins Center for Clinical Global Health Education (CCGHE) and the HIV Prevention Trials Network Central Laboratory (HPTN) have recently developed an on-line e-learning course for laboratories that are performing CD4 measurements.  This course was designed to be a self-paced learning tool to help train new lab technicians and as a resource for experienced technicians. It was specifically developed for laboratories in resource-limited settings.  The course is offered for free, as part of our open course ware currriculum, and can be accessed from our website link listed below.

We have other content on our website that may also be of interest.

Our mission is to provide on-line training tools that will be useful for our colleagues in resource-limited settings. Therefore, we would greatly appreciate constructive feedback about this CD4 course or any of our other content.  Comments and suggestions can be sent directly to me by email.

Please share this information with any other colleagues that may find it helpful.  

Thanks very much.
