Advocacy for the Profession 

 

The American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification (ASCP BOC) works to create awareness of the laboratory profession. Most notably, the ASCP BOC has advocated for the standardization of job titles for several laboratory professions. 

 

The ASCP BOC supports state licensure of laboratory professionals to ensure that laboratory personnel possess the appropriate education, clinical training, and have passed a proficiency-based examination. ASCP BOC examinations have been approved for licensure by several states.
