[QUOTE who="BigDog in Dupont, Washington"]If anyone wants more details, please let me know. Meanwhile, I've looked into the job openings in western Washington and what technologist certifications they request/require. Heres a summary:
- University of Washington (UW) Medical (25000 employees): "ASCP or equivalent"
- Group Health (25 primary care offices, 1100+ physicians, 600 000 residents served): any CLIA cert (HHS, HEW, AAB, ASCP, AMT)
- LabCorp (34 000 employees worldwide): any CLIA cert (HHS, HEW, AAB, ASCP, AMT)
- Quest Diagnostics: any CLIA cert
- Franciscan Health System, Catholic Services (13 hospitals, 13000 employees): HHS or ASCP.
- Multi-Care (5 major hospitals and 9100 employees): ASCP only.
- Various other labs in the area.... range from any CLIA cert to just AAB and ASCP. I have seen a few that specifically state that AMT certification is not considered equivalent to ASCP, but never seen the same with AAB or older certs like HEW/HHS.
So it looks like ASCP is accepted at most places in WA, and outside of Multicare, AAB is as well, but AMT is excluded more often than you'd expect.[/QUOTE]
