Help ASCP Understand the Financial Realities of Lab Education—Your Insights Matter!

ASCP and ASCP Board of Certification (BOC) are conducting a study related to the costs associated with laboratory education and training for professionals in medical and public health laboratories, including students and program directors. This study aims to (1) identify deficiencies in existing student debt-reduction programs at federal and state levels and advocate for better support for laboratory professionals, and (2) propose solutions to address the educational and training needs of the laboratory workforce. By recognizing financial obstacles, the study will highlight the necessity of affordable education and provide insights into issues impacting career progression and job satisfaction.

We encourage you to participate in this survey, set to launch on September 9, 2024!
