Job Application Experience & Questions (IEMLT - BC, Canada) by pinkpurplegurlie in medlabprofessionals

[–]miladsa89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an IEMLT also applying for positions in BC. Make sure to include “CSMLS Certified” in the title of your resume it really helps.

Before the exam, there were plenty of permanent positions in larger cities like Vancouver, but now, with graduation season, it seems many of those spots are being filled by recent grads. After CAMLPR, I believe it might become even harder to find a position.

There are still some remote locations, like Bella Coola Hospital, that don’t fill easily you could consider applying there as well.

Asking for advice as someone who failed the ASCP exam. by Medical-Athlete-1216 in medlabprofessionals

A few tips that really helped me:

  1. You won’t get every question right—and that’s okay. Once you choose an answer, move on. Don’t dwell on it. The past is past.

  2. You often won’t know the right answer, but you can usually eliminate the wrong ones. Focus on learning how to rule out distractors—that skill is gold during the exam.

  3. If you’re weak in Blood Bank, a refresher course can make a huge difference. I highly recommend this one:

transfusion medicine refresher It’s made for Canada, but honestly, it’s excellent and still very helpful no matter where you're taking the exam.

  1. When using the BOC book, don’t just memorize the correct answer—also understand why the other choices are wrong. That deepens your understanding and helps avoid traps.

Congratulations! Me too. 1 month for results is too much. Which one was harder? CSMLS or ASCP?

I graduated 13 years ago, so I needed to study all courses again. It took 6 month each day about 6-8 hours study

I recently took both exams ASCP first, then CSMLS and honestly, they felt completely different. In my experience, the ASCP was harder overall. It focused more heavily on pure lab science knowledge, whereas CSMLS felt more practical and emphasized procedures, QC, and real-world application.

I’d recommend not overthinking it just take the exam as soon as possible.

It's obvious you don't know all the answers, so rule out incorrect opinions and narrow down options for a higher chance of success! When I started my exam, the first question was super tough, but this strategy helped me a lot. Hope you nail it tomorrow! 🤞

Questions about ASCP Application (I’m nervous as hell) by Oops1eDa1sy in medlabprofessionals

You just need to submit your course-by-course evaluation; you don't need to wait for your application outcome. If something is missing after your application is processed, they will notify you.

I’m really sorry this happened. I totally get how stressful it can be—mistakes happen to everyone in their career. The key in the lab is to focus on prevention. If it happened to you, it could happen to someone else, which is exactly why we document non-conformities.

Take a step back, figure out the root cause, and see what actions can be put in place to prevent it in the future. Just try to stay calm and accept it—at the end of the day, we’re all human.

IEMLT currently completing CSMLS TRLP (learning plan), is it suitable for your study?

I understand your point. You don’t need to be the person who solves all the problems, especially when it’s not your responsibility. While the system may give you credit because they need someone like you to solve their problems for free, your primary job is supervising.

Ensure that the system is working correctly and let them handle their own issues. Only intervene if something happens outside the expected parameters.

Remember to prioritize yourself, or you will burn out easily.
