Advocacy for our Laboratorians
Our primary goal is to advocate for our profession and our patients. We do this by representing the interests of the clinical laboratory and affiliated professions and members of the Society in all government and other forums that affect these interests and being involved in national and state legislation and promoting licensure for all medical laboratory professionals.
Educate
We want to provide educational opportunities to students, future students, non-laboratory professionals and patients.
