Additional Requirements:
Recognized regional or national accreditation agency: agency must be approved by the US Department of Education, the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, or otherwise approved by the AMT Board of Directors.
Educational programs acceptable toward meeting certification requirements must include laboratory experience as part of the curricula. Applicants graduating from programs that do not include an experiential component must obtain and document evidence of one year of approved laboratory experience prior to being eligible for certification.
Applicants seeking certification under Routes 1 and 3 must have graduated from their degree program within the past five years. Applicants graduating longer than five years from date of application must provide evidence of one year of full-time (or equivalent) approved laboratory experience within the last five years.
Approved Clinical Laboratory Experience: All laboratory experience credited toward eligibility must have been gained while employed in a laboratory that performs the chemical, physical, or biological examination of human body fluids and tissues and that uses clinical laboratory techniques and methodologies. The experience must have been obtained within the last five years, rotating through all four of the following clinical laboratory disciplines: Blood Banking, Microbiology, Chemistry, and Hematology.
All work experience is assumed to be full-time. Full-time experience is defined as working an average of 40 hours/week (may be a combination of part-time settings). Where required laboratory experience will be verified.
