Cell Bowl

The Cell Bowl is a lively, interactive competition between medical laboratory science programs nationwide that culminates in the Super Cell Bowl for the Varsity league and the Second Chance Showdown for the Junior Varsity league.

The program tests the scientific knowledge of MLS and MLT students with team competitions that enhance their knowledge of blood cell morphology and build their professional networks (all while preparing them for the ASCP Board of Certification exams).

ASCP is a sponsor and supporter of the Cell Bowl. Medical Lab Lady Gill is the nucleus of the Cell Bowl: this program is courtesy of her imagination and implementation.

 

Get Started

Institutional teams of MLT and MLS students will compete in a national tournament to achieve the highest CellQuiz score using the FREE CellaVision CellAtlas app (found in your device’s app store). Programs will battle it out weekly to have a chance to compete in the Super Cell Bowl!

Who Is Eligible

U.S.-based institutions may participate in the Cell Bowl. Each institution will have one team no matter the type of program(s) represented. There is no team size limit. All participating students must have FREE ASCP Student Membership.

Not a member? Membership is free for laboratory students.

Any student with a perfect score whose time is shorter than Medical Lab Lady Gill’s perfect score can enter to win MLLG lab swag in the Perfect Score event.

Program Directors, the Cell Bowl is a fun way for your students to prepare for their exams. Encourage their participation!
