The American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) is a professional association based in Chicago, Illinois encompassing 130,000 pathologists and laboratory professionals.
Founded in 1922, the ASCP provides programs in education, certification and advocacy on behalf of patients, pathologists and lab professionals. In addition, the ASCP publishes numerous textbooks, newsletters and other manuals, and publishes two industry journals: American Journal of Clinical Pathology and LabMedicine.[1]
The ASCP also promotes National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week (NMLPW) as a time of recognition for medical laboratory personnel and a chance to celebrate their professionalism and be recognized for their efforts. National Lab Week is held annually during the last full week of April.Шаблон:Cn
Acquisitions
In February 2006, ASCP acquired the cytology product line of the Midwest Institute for Medical Education (MIME).[2] At the time, it was the only national cytology proficiency testing provider.[3]
In 2009, ASCP acquired the medical technologist led National Credentialing Agency for Laboratory Personnel (NCA).[4] The baccalaureate-level certification designations Medical Technologist (MT) and Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS) were replaced by Medical Laboratory Scientist, MLS(ASCP)CM.[4] The BOC Board of Governors will be composed of five ASCP Fellows (pathologists), five ASCP laboratory professionals, four representatives of ASCLS, two representatives of the Association of Genetic Technologists, eight representatives from the eight participating societies respectively, and one public representative.[4] The acquisition was criticized by AMT as doing little to further the standing of laboratory professionals.[5]
In 2021, ASCP acquired the Clinical Laboratory Management Association (CMLA).[6] CMLA had advocated against laboratory personnel licensure as an unnecessary cost.
