American Society for Clinical Pathology

laboratory professionals

For more than a year, we talked to and surveyed hundreds of ASCP lab professionals to get their opinions on this question – what would you like us to do to increase the value of your ASCP membership? And we kept hearing the same answer:

“Make it easier for us to maintain our professional certification.”

That’s why we’re now introducing re.member, our new membership solution and online resource that will eliminate the paperwork for maintaining your credentials.

Coming later this year!

This new membership solution will give you the following benefits to make the process of re-certification simple and easy:

  • Education you need to maintain your certification
  • Tools to track your completed CE credits and let you know which ones you still need for certification maintenance
  • Services that submit your completed CMP declaration form to the Board of Registry

Check back with us for more details later this Summer!
