What are some good ideas for Lab Week?
Other game ideas include guessing the microbe, using a treasure map to find lab-related items, having a scavenger hunt, conducting a mystery diagnosis game, or showing what not to do with personal protective equipment, or holding a know-your-toxic-waste contest. Another idea is to hold a blood drive!

What happens at the end of Lab Week?
“Cash Lab” (with lab shout-outs). At the end of the week during lunch, we hold a “Laboratory Idol” competition — complete with judges doing their best impressions of Randy, Paula, and Simon; and we all cast votes via text message to our own version of Ryan Seacrest. We also hold “Lunch-and-Learn” meetings during Lab Week.
What do staff members do for Lab Week?
Every year, a couple of staff members work together creating a newsletter to teach patients and visitors about the different areas of the lab and what some of common lab tests reveal.

When did lab week start in the US?
We started this service as a celebration of laboratory week in 1985 and have continued at least twice a year for 25 years. (At present, we do a week in the spring, “Spring into Health,” and a week in the fall, “Fall for Health.”).
