Why Continuing Education (CE) Matters
Continuing education (CE) keeps laboratory professionals current with evolving technologies, methods, and regulations. CE also supports licensure maintenance, certification renewal, and accreditation expectations.
Types of Continuing Education for Lab Staff
- Online courses and webinars.
- Conferences and workshops.
- In-house lectures and case reviews.
- Journal clubs and literature reviews.
- Vendor-led instrument and method training.
CE Requirements and Compliance
CE requirements may come from:
- State licensure boards.
- Certification organizations (e.g., ASCP, AMT).
- Accreditation programs (e.g., CAP, Joint Commission).
- Internal policies and competency frameworks.
