The American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification (ASCP BOC) provides multiple ways for you to stay informed and involved. Join the Program Directors Facebook group, volunteer, or explore the annual examination statistics to stay engaged.
Join the ASCP BOC Program Directors Facebook group
The ASCP BOC Program Directors Facebook group is a group for program directors of NAACLS, CAAHEP, and ABHES-accredited laboratory programs, as well as education and clinical coordinators and faculty, whose students aim to earn an ASCP BOC credential. Supported by volunteers with several years of program experience, this peer-based group can answer your credentialing-related questions and is a resource for information and support.
The ASCP BOC Newsletter is published three times a year, in the Spring, Summer, and Winter, and contains important information regarding ASCP BOC activities. These include updates about changes in eligibility requirements, application processing, examination and credentialing insights, updates on the work of the Board of Governors, and more. As a Program Director, you will receive an email when the newest edition is published, and they are always available on our website.
Examination & Credential Insights, Analytics, & Practice Analysis Reports
Explore annual insights and analytics for ASCP BOC examinations and credentials. These reports provide detailed data on the credentials attained, credential holder volumes, examination pass rates and volumes, examination scaled scores, accredited program examination pass rates, and credential holders with stacked credentials. These are updated annually.
Volunteer on the Program Director’s Advisory Committee (PDAC)
PDAC manages the Program Director’s Facebook group and helps ensure that pertinent information is shared with Program Directors, education and clinical coordinators, and faculty. PDAC is made up of 1 or 2 representatives from all types of laboratory programs. As vacancies occur, volunteers with appropriate characteristics are sought to complement the existing composition and ensure a diverse membership.
