Laboratory Workforce Steering Committee

ASCP's Laboratory Workforce Steering Committee focuses on promoting the laboratory profession through initiatives that will increase the availability of clinical laboratory workforce supply and strengthen the pathways into and among these careers long into the future.

The ASCP Laboratory Workforce Steering Committee serves as the strategy drivers for the program by initiating discussions and taking an active role in calling attention to the three focus areas developed from extensive research, where there are opportunities to improve recognition of the clinical laboratory workforce and enhance careers in the field.

The three focus areas are:

  • Improve the visibility of clinical laboratory occupations
  • Improve workforce recruitment and retention
  • Focus on diversity and inclusion in the laboratory
