ASCP recently launched the Fellow Council Representative Network, a great opportunity for pathologists to be more involved with the ASCP at the grassroots level.
What is the Fellow Council Representative Network?
The ASCP Fellow Council and its network of Representatives are the voice of membership. This mandates that they be actively involved in representing the ASCP and relaying its activities and accomplishments to pathologists everywhere.
What would I do as a Representative?
Representatives act as a conduit for communications between practicing pathologists and the Council, bringing issues and concerns from their peers to the Council’s attention.
Primary Functions:
1. Serve as an ASCP Representative in your local area.
2. Promote ASCP, ASCP membership, and the pathology profession.
3. Communicate effectively between the ASCP Fellow Council, the pathology community, and the public.

New! Wanted: Russian-Speaking Consultants
ASCP is looking for Russian-speaking consultants with laboratory management experience to travel to Kazakhstan in Central Asia.
How do consultants help?
ASCP members serve as consultants and volunteers for important programs such as the President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPFAR) initiative, to address the growing threat of AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean, and now, Central Asia. As demand, innovation and new dynamics present themselves, ASCP members continually maintain an important role in this outreach.
Upcoming assessment and training opportunities in Kazakhstan include assessment, mentoring, and training as part of piloting the Strengthening Laboratory Management toward Accreditation (SLMTA) program. Consultant trips range from five to 12 days.
Why should I get involved in Global Outreach with ASCP?
Global outreach with ASCP is a rewarding adventure you will never forget. In addition to providing meaingful service that makes a huge impact on people in need, you will receive unique training and experiences that nurture your professional and personal growth and learning.
What opportunities are available?
In addition to our Russian-speaking consultant opportunities in Central Asia, we are always in need of individuals who are fluent in French or Portuguese to assist in the facilitation of projects and trainings in Haiti, Cote d’Ivoire, Rwanda and Mozambique.
Opportunities include workgroup participation to develop training materials, assessing and evaluating scenarios in resource-limited nations, and serving as laboratory trainers specializing in hematology, chemistry, CD4 testing, phlebotomy, and laboratory management.
Ultimately these opportunities will serve to enhance laboratory testing practices, and the quality of laboratory testing services--all with the goal of improving the effectiveness of HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment services, and interventions.
