3 Focused learning sessions

— Outcomes

What you'll be able to do by session three.

Forget simply reading screening results. Learn how toxicology testing works, how results are interpreted, and how laboratories support clinical decision-making in substance and drug testing environments.

Understand toxicology screening principles confidently

Learn how toxicology and drug screening tests are designed and applied in laboratory settings.

Recognize common drug testing methodologies

Understand the strengths, limitations, and applications of different toxicology testing methods.

Identify false results and cross-reactivity issues

Recognize factors that may affect screening accuracy and interpretation.

Support clinical interpretation and confirmation testing

Strengthen your ability to understand confirmatory testing processes and laboratory result interpretation.

— Audience

Built for the laboratory, and the professionals behind it.

A short honesty check: this course is designed for healthcare and laboratory professionals seeking stronger understanding of toxicology and substance/drug testing processes.

Topics covered:

Overview of toxicology testing principles
Understanding drug screening methodologies
Specimen considerations and collection factors
Factors affecting toxicology testing accuracy
Role of toxicology testing in clinical environments

02. Drug Screening Methods & Interpretation

2 Hours

Explore the laboratory methods used for drug detection and understand their strengths, limitations, and interpretation challenges.

Topics covered:

Immunoassay-based screening tests
Cross-reactivity and false positive results
Understanding cut-off values and testing sensitivity
Recognizing limitations of screening methodologies
Interpretation of toxicology screening results

03. Confirmation Testing & Clinical Decision-Making

Topics covered:

Screening versus confirmation testing
Confirmatory methods such as GC-MS and LC-MS/MS
Interpretation of confirmed toxicology results
