Effective June 7, 2010, the American Board of Bioanalysis (ABB) application for certification must be completed online. Only applications completed online will be accepted for review. A "Sample Application" can be printed for your information and reference, but only an application completed online will be accepted for certification. If you have any questions or experience any difficulty completing the online application, please contact ABB. PLEASE CLICK and READ these important instructions before filling out the online application. |
An application must be completed to apply for certification through the American Board of Bioanalysis (ABB). All applications must be submitted in English and no handwritten applications will be accepted.
On the application you will be asked to check the certification that you are applying for:
If applying for HCLD or TS, select a minimum of one (1) of the following disciplines: andrology, embryology*, chemistry, diagnostic immunology, hematology, microbiology, molecular diagnostics, or public health microbiology.
*For an embryologist, there are two director certifications available, HCLD and ELD. HCLD certification qualifies you as a director under CLIA, whereas ELD certification does not. An HCLD in embryology can automatically qualify for ELD, but not vice versa. Refer to the ABB certification standards for details.
If applying for PHLD, select the Public Health Microbiology discipline.
If applying for BCLD, select a minimum of three (3) of the following disciplines: chemistry, diagnostic immunology, hematology, and microbiology or public health microbiology.
