ASCLS's Career Center is part of the National Healthcare Network, giving ASCLS members access to a vast, interprofessionally connected set of career networks in healthcare. Job seekers can browse open positions and post their resume and contact information for employers who are looking to fill open positions. ASCLS members are flagged for higher visibility, giving them a leg up on the competition.

ASCLS members are kept informed through two Society publications. Clinical Laboratory Science is an award-winning,quarterly journal featuring articles on the very latest in research, education and government actions affecting the profession. ASCLS Today, our newsletter, is published eight times a year and provides timely updates on association activities in the legislative, educational and membership arenas. These two publications, along with additional mailings targeted to Society leaders, keep our members informed.

ASCLS offers a number of live and virtual events as well as self study courses that allows learners to progress through materials at their convenience. 

All education through the ASCLS Education website is P.A.C.E ® accredited. ASCLS P.A.C.E.® is accepted by the ASCP/ASCLS/AGT Board of Certification and all states, including Florida and California, as an approved provider of continuing education for recertification and licensure. ASCLS is an approved provider with CE Broker for Florida licensees.

ASCLS offers free courses to members throughout the year via our Learning Management System (LMS) found at https://www.pathlms.com/ascls/courses/. To find the free courses for members, browse by the categopry "Free for ASCLS Members" or click here to view the courses directly. 

As new laws and regulations bring momentous changes to clinical laboratory science, your ASCLS membership provides you with liaisons to Members of Congress, Federal and state agencies. Our government affairs team monitors and influences laws and regulations that affect the profession. This dedicated team, coupled with extensive grassroots involvement from the membership, ensures that the concerns of the profession are heard in Congress. To ensure effective advocacy, each year ASCLS also holds a Legislative Symposium. Participants learn the manner in which current issues are being addressed within government and are briefed in lobbying skills. Participants also meet with Members of Congress to discuss the issues important to the profession and to advocate for our best interests.

One of the important benefits to members of ASCLS is our regional, state and local meetings. These gatherings provide scientific and technical continuing education sessions, as well as networking opportunities with local and regional colleagues.
