Empowering New Lab Staff with Foundational Skills

ASCP is proud to launch “Basic Medical Laboratory Skills,” a new eLearning series designed to empower new lab team members with essential knowledge. With 1.0 CMLE credit offered per course and free access in the ASCP Store, this CMLE-bearing series dives into the core building blocks of medical laboratory work: Laboratory Safety, Laboratory Terminology, Laboratory Math, Basic Operations of Laboratory Equipment, Routine Procedures, and Quality Control. Each beginner-friendly course blends foundational learning with practical, case-based examples—perfect for team members new to the medical laboratory or wanting to brush up on some skills.  

This training package was intended to offset the burden of on-the-job training required of medical laboratory directors as they level-set new and uncertified members of their laboratory teams. The scope of the education was designed by the ASCP Workforce Steering Committee, and the educational materials were developed by a wide range ASCP member subject matter experts serving active medical laboratory roles.  

Help us spread the word about this high-quality and free educational training package! Share this resource with your laboratory network, trainees, and new lab team members who could benefit from an introduction to core medical laboratory skills.
