📅 August 1, 2023 👤 Khanolkar Aaruni, Spiczka Amy, Bonfield Tracey L et al. 📖 ImmunoHorizons

🤖 Plain-English Summary

It is indeed a privilege to be an immunologist in what is arguably the golden age of immunology. This new ASCP BOC certification is called the Diplomate in Medical Laboratory Immunology, and, as of April 1, 2023, it is now available to potential examinees.

🔑 Key Findings

  • From astounding advances in fundamental knowledge to groundbreaking immunotherapeutic offerings, immunology has carved out an enviable niche for itself in basic science and clinical medicine.
  • The need and the vital importance of appropriate education, training, and certification in clinical immunology was recognized by the World Health Organization as far back as 1972.
  • scientists with board certification in medical laboratory immunology have served as directors of high-complexity Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments- and College of American Pathologists-certified clinical immunology laboratories since 1977.

💡 Why This Matters

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
