Structural overview for the laboratory leadership and management programme in Zambia, 2016–2018. Two cohorts of participants from 16 laboratories across Zambia participated from 2016–2018, each cohort taking 9 months to complete the programme work. Both programme years utilised a similar approach to adult experiential learning, utilising a blended solution of online and face-to-face instruction, a robust online discussion board as well as close faculty and mentorship support for individual capstone projects conducted at participant’s home laboratories. Orientation and finale sessions were conducted in Lusaka. Seventeen laboratory managers from 16 laboratories completed the 2016–2017 programme and completed 16 unique capstone projects. For the second cohort, 16 laboratory managers and 15 quality managers completed the programme and conducted 15 unique capstone projects.
