ASCP members are strongly encouraged to respond to the ASCP 2022 Vacancy Survey, which has just launched. Your input is vital to determining the extent and distribution of workforce shortages within the nation’s medical laboratories.
The Society needs robust data in order to understand just how significant workforce vacancies are in order to advocate for the medical laboratory profession before Congress.
Results from the
ASCP 2020 Vacancy Survey have underscored the need to focus on the needs of the laboratory, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. That data has been useful as we look to cultivate the future of the laboratory profession as a whole, as well as individual specialties.
The ASCP 2022 Vacancy Survey will help ascertain the current staffing needs in the laboratory and the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the field. In addition to general staffing questions, the survey asks about hiring, recruitment, and retention challenges participants face in their institutions.
The vacancy survey will remain open through May 31 and can be accessed
here.
