Member-developed Resource Center

Covering a wide array of laboratory topics and services practiced in the field, the Member-developed Resource Center (MRC) allows you to access institutional knowledge from across the APHL community—and submit your own resources—to help you lead, strengthen and advance your public health laboratory operations and management.

About the Member-developed Resource Center

The MRC now includes all "member-developed" resources, such as APHL technical publications that our committee members helped author or resources produced by Emerging Leader Program cohorts. 

Accessing the MRC

Anyone can explore the MRC, but many materials are restricted to APHL members due to their confidential nature. If you do not have access to a resource, a lock icon will appear on its card. You must be signed into the site to access restricted content. Need help logging in? Email [email protected].

If you just need one-off access to a resource, you can always ask your laboratory's APHL member representative (usually the laboratory director) or member-affiliates to download and send you a copy of the materials.

If you need more general access to member-level content, you can have your member representative send a note to [email protected] requesting an "Employee of Member Laboratory" designation be added to your APHL profile. While there may still be some resources entirely restricted to members, this designation will allow access to a wider range of materials.
