ASCP Board of Certification survey of Medical Laboratory Science education 2023: programs.

The American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification Research and Development Committee has undertaken regular surveys of Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) education programs. Results of previous surveys were reported in 2019 and 2022. The purpose of these recurring surveys is to support MLS programs in their educational mission by providing information about current issues and trends that may affect program resources and MLS education, including data for grant applications, funding requests, and strategic planning. Program-related topics covered in the surveys included program director and faculty education and certification requirements, program structure and duration, student grade point averages and acceptance data, clinical site numbers and status, and faculty numbers and vacancies.
