ASCP Certification: The Standard of Excellence

The Board of Registry remains committed to being the Standard of Excellence for certification of laboratory professionals. At a time when the laboratory workforce shortage is becoming more acute, it is crucial that now more than ever we are able to

gain a widespread recognition of the value that ASCP certified professionals bring to maintaining high quality healthcare. The Board of Registry’s activities are continually focused on this goal, both nationally and internationally, on behalf of you, our constituents.

I am always pleased to report on our progress regarding International Certification. We currently provide certification exams in 5 countries, as was reported in our last newsletter, and discussions are underway with several others. The desire for our international colleagues to have the opportunity to achieve the ASCP-BOR Standard of Excellence in order to demonstrate their knowledge and skills is great. We continue to work with

representatives from several countries to determine the feasibility of providing ASCPi certification for their laboratory professionals, and we eagerly anticipate the addition of more countries to our list for international certification this year.

Discussions with the National Credentialing Agency are moving forward. It has been very clearly communicated by our constituents and a majority of laboratory professionals that having a single certifying agency is of great importance to the profession. Our agencies continue to work together to evaluate all of our options for making this desire become a reality, and we appreciate everyone’s patience and recognition that decisions of this nature take time to evolve.

The summer months are approaching and many of us are looking forward to nice weather and possibly a much-needed vacation with our families. It will continue to be a busy time for the Board of Registry as we focus on our many projects. I welcome your questions, comments or suggestions regarding any of the BOR activities, and hope you all have a very safe and enjoyable summer.

ASCP Board of Registry Celebrates 80th Anniversary: Around the World in 80 Years

To commemorate ASCP Board of Registry’s 80th Anniversary, we invite you to travel with us through time as we take you back to the humble beginnings of the early years and ultimately around the world as the Board of Registry (BOR) grows into an organization with a global focus.

ASCP Board of Registry traces its roots back to 1926 when the ASCP Board of Directors appointed the Committee on Registration of Technicians to develop standards for identifying qualifications of laboratory personnel. The establishment of the American Registry of Medical Technicians, now known as the ASCP Board of Registry, took place 80 years ago. Since then, over 420,000 certifications have been awarded and the ASCP Board of Registry stands established as the gold standard for laboratory certification.

The following timeline highlights the evolution of ASCP BOR certification and the influence of laboratorians who have shaped our certification processes from the 1920s through the 1950s. Look for our more recent developments in the next issue when we will take a look at the last five decades that have brought us to where we are today.

1920s Recognizing a Need and Establishing a Registry

1922 American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP) is formed.

1926 ASCP Committee on Registration of Technicians creates rules and regulations for governance of a registry.

First report from the Committee on Registration of Technicians was presented by Dr. Kano Ikeda at the New Willard Hotel, Washington, DC, May 23.

1928 ASCP Board of Registry (BOR) is officially established called the “Registration Bureau for Technicians”. The first chair is Phillip Hillkowitz, MD (1928-1940).

1930s The Early Exam and Curriculum Development

1930 First ASCP BOR certificate is issued to Paul H. Adams of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

1931 ASCP BOR institutes the use of initials “MT” (Medical Technician) and “LT” (Laboratory Technician) after the registrant’s name.

Medical Technologist (MT) certification established.

1933 All registry applicants are required to take a written and practical examination. Exams are 50% oral/practical, 25% written, and 25% personal/psychological. The examination fee is $10.00. Of the 66 applicants who take the first nation-wide examination, 56 pass.

1934 First separate meeting of Registry of Technicians (BOR) held in Cleveland, OH.

1935 Becomes apparent that the uniformity of grading cannot be accomplished by several scattered examiners. First official examiner, Dr. A.W. Freshman, appointed.

The ASCP BOR decides to give title Medical Technologist (MT) automatically to those certified Laboratory Technicians with college degrees.

In the early 1920’s there were no standards for identifying competent laboratory technicians


1936 Title Laboratory Technician is discontinued and all subsequent registrants designated Medical Technologists.

American Medical Association publishes the first AMA list of “Accredited Schools for Clinical Laboratory Technicians.”

1938 ASCP BOR is 10 years old and has certified 4,465 technologists. The Registry of Medical Technologists replaces Registry of Technicians.

1939 ASCP BOR publishes “Curriculum for Schools of Medical Technology,” and plans a national program of seminars with state boards of health and medical schools.

1940s Recruitment and Growth

1940 Use of MT(ASCP) with brackets is begun. Lall G.Montgomery, MD (1940-1964) becomes second chair of the Board of Registry.

1946 Another medical technologist is added to the ASCP Advisory Committee of Medical Technologists, thus increasing MT representatives to six.

1948 Becomes apparent to the ASCP BOR that essay-type examinations are too slow and cumbersome. A switch is made to only true/false and multiple choice questions.

Technologist in Chemistry (C), Technologist in Microbiology (M), Histotechnician (HT) certifications established.

1949 ASCP BOR moves to machine analysis for its grading system and begins to provide schools of medical technology with detailed statistical information about their teaching programs.

1950s New Specialist Certifications

1953 Specialist in Microbiology (SM) certification established.

1954 Specialist in Blood Banking (SBB) and Specialist in Chemistry (SC) certifications established.

1956 Second or interim meeting of the ASCP BOR is added due to increased work volume.

1957 Cytotechnologist (CT) certification established.

1959 Specialist in Cytotechnology (SCT) certification established.

More to follow in the next issue: the 1960s to the present.

The first office was located in Denver, Colorado


International Certification Expands in 2007

In today’s global economy competence within the medical laboratory is an international issue, and one that ASCP is addressing through international certification. The opportunity to protect the health and safety of the public through standardized testing and certification has been extended internationally to such countries as South Korea, the Philippines, Panama, and the city of Hong Kong. Following is a look at ASCP Board of Registry activities overseas this year.

Updates from the October 2007 and the March 2008 Board of Governors’ Meetings

At the Board of Governors of the Board of Registry meeting in October 2007, the following actions were taken:

Revisions to the eligibility requirements for several •certification categories were approved as follows: Phlebotomy Technician (PBT) – Under Route 3, the requirement for orientation in full service laboratory was eliminated. A new route was added for individuals who are certified DPT(ASCP).

Specialist in Cytotechnologist (SCT) – Routes 1, 2 and 3 were consolidated into a single route requiring CT(ASCP) certification, a baccalaureate degree and three years experience.

These revisions have been updated on the ASCP web site and in the January 1-June 2008 Procedures for Examination and Certification.

As the ASCP• i international certification is expanding globally, the concept of an international scholarship program was approved. This program will assist applicants, working in resource-poor countries, pay the application fee for certification. Further details on this program are available on the ASCP web site.

The Board voted to discontinue the Qualification for •Point of Care Testing Evaluators (POCTE).

The Board of Governors met on March 2008. Here are some important updates from this meeting.

The following certification examinations will •be retired after December 31, 2008: Apheresis Technician (AT) and Hemapheresis Practitioner (HP). The last examination period for these examinations will be October – December 2008, with an application deadline date of September 1, 2008.

The eligibility requirements for the Phlebotomy •Technician (PBT) certification under Route 2 were revised. This route, for graduates of formal structured phlebotomy training programs, was revised to decrease the number of clock hours of clinical training and orientation from 120 hours to 100 hours. This revision will make these requirements similar to the clinical hours required for a NAACLS approved phlebotomy program. The full requirements are available on our web site.

New York State Licensure for Medical Technologists (Clinical Laboratory Technologists), Medical Laboratory Technicians (Clinical Laboratory Technicians) and Cytotechnologists

The ASCP Board of Registry has recently signed a contract with the state of New York as the sole provider of examinations for Medical Technologists (MT) and Medical Laboratory Technicians (MLT) for licensure in New York effective December 1, 2007. A contract was also signed with New York for the Cytotechnologist (CT) examination effective September 1, 2007.

There is a six-year “look-back” period, meaning that an individual already certified as an MT(ASCP), MLT(ASCP) or CT(ASCP) after September 1, 2001 does not need to retake the examination. Detailed information on verification of certification and scheduling an examination for New York licensure may be located on the ASCP website under State Licensure. Information regarding New York licensure is available on the New York State web site.

California Approval of the Certification Examinations for Chemistry (C), Specialist in Chemistry (SC), Microbiology (M) and Specialist in Microbiology (SM)

The Board of Registry (BOR) is pleased to announce that California Laboratory Field Services accepted these ASCP BOR examinations (C, SC, M, SM) for licensure purposes in the state of California effective March 1, 2008, with a four-year “look back”. This means individuals who have passed the examinations listed above from March 1, 2004 forward may use that examination to meet the examination requirements for licensure in California. Licensure applicants must still apply and meet education and training requirements under California law and pass an online quiz on state laboratory law.

Information on verification of certification and scheduling an examination for licensure is available on the ASCP web site under State Licensure. Information regarding California licensure in chemistry and microbiology will be available on the California Laboratory Field Services web site.
