Planning tools

We are building a small library of planning documents for health-science programs. These tools are designed to help teams ask better questions before purchasing equipment, reorganizing a lab, or preparing teaching documents.

Common planning questions

Programs often contact us when they are asking questions such as:

What equipment do we need for a CNA skills lab?
How should we inventory anatomy teaching materials?
How do we compare lab equipment vendors?
What consumables should we plan for a phlebotomy training lab?
How do we prepare instructor checklists for skills stations?
How can we organize old lab materials before purchasing new equipment?

How to use these resources

These resources are intended for educational planning and internal discussion. Programs should review final purchasing and teaching decisions with appropriate faculty, institutional leadership, procurement staff, and compliance professionals where needed.
