ASCLS works alongside other lab science organizations to educate legislators about the profession and address issues pertaining to the field, such as personnel licensure, the workforce shortage, and patient safety.
Clinical laboratory science is constantly evolving, and new laws and regulations can have a big impact on our work. Through ASCLS, you have the power to influence these changes:
- Stay informed and represented—our government affairs committee monitors issues affecting the profession and alerts you to opportunities to take action.
- Join grassroots efforts—your involvement ensures Congress hears the concerns of laboratorians.
- Participate in the annual Labvocate Symposium—learn how current issues are addressed, gain lobbying skills, and meet with members of Congress to advocate for our profession.
- Learn about the Ambassador Program—access training and resources to actively engage with your members of Congress.
Your voice matters. Together, we can impact legislation that improves the profession and patient access to care.
