The impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on training and Shared Resource Laboratory (SRL) operations such as staffing, facility access, and social distancing, has affected facilities around the globe to different degrees based on restrictions set by various geographical and institutional settings. With these restrictions come unique challenges regarding user and staff training and education, for both theory and practice. Most notably, limitations in facility access, occupancy, staffing availability, network restrictions and trainee engagement call for innovative solutions for training when traditional in‐person options are not feasible. Through the use of remote access tools and prerecorded educational and training materials, SRLs are able to overcome these obstacles. Here, we focus on readily available technologies and general guidelines that SRLs in different environments can use for remote cytometry training and education, while highlighting key obstacles that still remain. Although SRLs may face initial struggles in transitioning trainings to a virtual format, remote technologies provide unique opportunities to advance current training programs. © 2020 International Society for Advancement of Cytometry

在全球大流行中对 SRL 用户和员工进行远程培训

COVID-19 大流行对培训和共享资源实验室 (SRL) 运营（如人员配备、设施使用和社会距离）的影响，基于各种地理和机构设置的限制，在不同程度上影响了全球各地的设施。这些限制带来了关于用户和员工培训和教育的独特挑战，无论是理论还是实践。最值得注意的是，当传统的面对面选择不可行时，设施访问、占用、人员配备、网络限制和学员参与方面的限制需要创新的培训解决方案。通过使用远程访问工具和预先录制的教育和培训材料，SRL 能够克服这些障碍。这里，我们专注于不同环境中的 SRL 可用于远程流式细胞仪培训和教育的现成技术和一般指南，同时强调仍然存在的主要障碍。尽管 SRL 在将培训过渡到虚拟形式方面可能会面临最初的困难，但远程技术为推进当前的培训计划提供了独特的机会。© 2020 国际细胞术进步协会
