International Certification and Qualification

ASCPⁱ Certification & Qualification: Our Global Response to a Changing World

International Credentials through ASCPⁱ help you stay focused on work and education priorities no matter where you’re located.

ASCP offers its gold standard credentials in the form of international certification to eligible individuals worldwide. The ASCPⁱ credential certifies professional competency among new and practicing laboratory personnel in an effort to contribute globally to the highest standards of patient safety. Graduates of medical laboratory science programs outside the United States are challenged with content that mirrors the standards of excellence established by ASCP exams. The ASCPⁱ credential carries the weight of eighty years of expertise in clinical laboratory professional certification.

International Certification Ambassadors
The American Society for Clinical Pathology BOC International Certification Ambassador Program, approved by the Board of Governors in March 2010, aims to raise awareness of the international certification credential worldwide, while furthering efforts towards a decentralized process. In addition to regional ambassadors, this program allows for inclusion of professionals with international expertise, (e.g.: cultural experts, discipline specific experts, international standards setting experts, etc.) to flex into the structure on an as needed basis to facilitate a more expeditious response to the needs of the changing global market and otherwise assist with promotion of international certification through ASCPⁱ.

The International Certification Ambassador Program is a systematic approach for selecting key ASCP BOC volunteers that can serve as comprehensive knowledge-based experts of the Society.
- Individuals appointed to all regions of the world
- Strategic liaisons will work with targeted in-country advisory boards to determine their needs and ultimately forge intra-continental communications
- Will facilitate relationships with local laboratory organizations and government bodies to promote regional meetings and to conduct gap analyses

Advisory Boards

Volunteering for Advisory Board Positions
As part of our effort to contribute globally to the highest standards of patient safety, the ASCP works to establish Advisory Boards in all countries requesting additional ASCPⁱ support and representation. International Advisory Board members are typically program directors of clinical laboratory educational programs, laboratory supervisors, and/or representatives from a country or region’s clinical laboratory society.

Benefits of Being an Advisory Board Volunteer
1. Challenges outside the realm of the everyday workplace.
2. Networking opportunities within your region and from a worldwide consortium of laboratory professionals.
3. Help your community while advancing your career. Advisory Board members will be awarded one (1) waived ASCP BOC application fee for the international certification examination of their choice.
4. Continuing education. Advisory Board members are provided with a period of complimentary access to the available ASCP BOC online practice examinations.
5. Help laboratory students through direct interaction.

Becoming a Volunteer
To become a volunteer, interested applicants should mail their CV to Joseph Baker, Manager of International Certification (joseph.baker@ascp.org)—who will then pass along the information to the corresponding chair for consideration. Applicants must:
1. Reside in the country in which they would like to volunteer for Advisory Board positions.
2. Become thoroughly familiar with the mission and the goals of the ASCP Board of Certification and International Certification Committee.
3. Be prompt and reliable in reporting for scheduled work. Keep accurate records.
4. Attend all Advisory Board meetings.
5. Carry out assignments in good spirit and seek assistance from ASCP staff as necessary.
6. Communicate personal limitations—acceptable out-of-pocket costs, transportation needs, time constraints, etc.
7. Provide feedback, suggestions, and recommendations to the ASCP BOC International Certification Committee and international staff on news and trends that may help promote the international credential.
