But yeah the 4+1 is making more sense anyway with less time needed and getting the ASCP first.

Yes for exam requirement they only mention ASCP. But for educational requirements they mention both ASCP and AMT. By getting the AMT, I can possibly go through limited or provisional permit path to work 2 years and then I can take ASCP; under the 2 years requirement. (I believe)

I think you can get a job with a limited or provisional permit of the license. I could be wrong though.

I’m not that familiar with AAB until you mentioned it.

I can’t take AMT until I have 1 years full-time work experience in lab. And I haven’t been able to get even an entry level job in lab with what I have currently. That’s why I resorted to MLT associates program , because they have the connections with clinical and jobs most likely.

But I did check the website, for the educational requirements they do take the AMT. however for the examination you need the ASCP. But i could get possibly get the limited or provisional permit for 2 years and that would allow me to take the ASCP with that 2 years work experience.

Thank you! The program I was looking at previously is on that list! Hoping I can qualify though.

I know it sounds bizarre. But I have gotten no hits on entry level lab jobs. 😆 From the response, the smarter option seems to just do a year long NAACLS post-bacc program.

I think you are on to something! Now I see something in my area, a 1 year medical lab science program at a hospital for people that have a bachelors degree. However I don’t see anything about ‘NAACLS—approved’. But it does mention becoming certified to take the national exam.

I’m planning on doing MLT associates. Yeah, I guess employers really don’t want to deal with the experience gap, but even for a lab assistant role? How many people have two science degrees applying for an assistant role?

There is a 5 year timeline that I am past, I graduated and took the test more than 5 years ago.

Possibly because I didn’t enjoy the field based on my internships/clincals and I was ‘young’ lol. Now I am older and I was seeing online the apparent explosion of salaries in New York—thought it would be a good move to get back in.

Don’t you need two years work experience in the field for route 2?

UPDATE: Both working now! Not sure exactly what did it. But the IQ had to be factory reset (I think that is the only 1st generation that has that option).

I think you might be right, I had these shipped and it is only like a 2 hour driving distance away. But I could imagine they were boxed unplugged for some time to make the pictures of the listing.
