The ASCP Board of Certification certifies individuals who meet academic and clinical prerequisites and achieve designated performance levels on its examinations.
鈥淲hile national certification is voluntary, and not all employers require medical laboratory technicians be certified, they prefer it,鈥 said Von Lithila, program director, Medical Laboratory Technology, 快猫短视频-Rieman. 鈥淪ome states require nation certification along with their own state certification, and certification is required to perform certain laboratory procedures, especially in laboratories that hold College of American Pathologists certification.鈥
鈥淭he dual accomplishment of our recent graduates on the certification exam, both the 100 percent first time pass rate and achieving an average exam score higher than the national average, is a testament to the quality of medical laboratory technology education available to interested students,鈥 Lithila concluded.
