What is Proficiency testing? Why is it needed?

Like many professionals out there, CEU’s (continuing education units) are required to maintain a standard of quality of service. Medical and private laboratories and their scientists are also held to a high standard . The American Association of Bioanalysts, were formed not only to give a voice to private laboratories, like GLL, but to make sure that private labs remain educated in the ever evolving scientific world. Thus, the . Proficiency Examination Review Handbook was created. PER is a long standing aptitude program that keeps bioanalysts both up to date on scientific methods, helps to prepare for state licensing and private certifying examinations for technologists/technicians in the disciplines of clinical chemistry, hematology, immunology, immunohematology, and microbiology. Like any test, not everyone can or will pass this testing. Therefore, it is an extreme honor to be certified.
