ASCP 2024 Carter Stephen Ainsworth Health Policy Summer Fellowships Announced

ASCP is pleased to announce the recipients of its 2024 Carter Stephen Ainsworth Health Policy Summer Fellowship program. ASCP’s summer fellowship program offers students the opportunity to serve as ASCP Health Policy Interns, working primarily with staff in the ASCP Institute for Science, Technology and Public Policy and receiving hands-on experience and insight into the synergies of science, policy, and practice in laboratory medicine.

Introduced in 2018, this fellowship has since funded nine fellows, who have successfully completed the program and are pursuing diverse career paths. This year’s fellows will join the ASCP team conducting research and analysis to develop factsheets, issue briefs and other educational resources that will drive the Institute’s research and health policy initiatives.
