Quick Compendium of Medical Laboratory Sciences

The NEW Quick Compendium of Medical Laboratory Sciences (or QCMLS) is the latest tool that ASCP is offering to students preparing for the ASCP Board of Certification (BOC) Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS) and Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) certification examinations.

The QCMLS is the final element of an expanded competency-based curriculum to help U.S. and international medical laboratory scientists (MLSs) who plan on becoming ASCP/ASCPi MLS certified. In four parts, this examination preparation curriculum consists of the ASCP BOC Study Guide, the MLS Online Review Course, the BOC Interactive Practice Exam and this new Quick Compendium of Medical Laboratory Sciences.

This comprehensive suite of materials, used individually or collectively, will help students to prepare efficiently for successful completion of the Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS) or Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) certification examination.

The QCMLS is intended to serve as a self-instructional textbook companion to the BOC Study Guide. The text is organized by subject area, covering all the areas of the most recent MLS/MLT Content Outline and more.

Chapters include:

• Blood Bank
• Chemistry
• Urinalysis/Body Fluids
• Hematology
• Hemostasis
• Microbiology
• Laboratory Operations
• Immunology
• Molecular Biology
• • 
    
    Chapters are cross referenced to each other as useful to provide additional learning for students looking for deeper treatment of particular topics at many points in every chapter. Where there is important overlap between chapters, cross references are built in already.
