Dear Dr. NAACLS:
I have heard that it is possible to download various NAACLS forms from the NAACLS website. I'd like to know how to do that so I can receive the forms even if I'm not in my office and so I can fill in the forms electronically. Where are they? Are there any forms that are not available?
Sincerely,
E-Program Director

Dear E-Program Director,
The NAACLS web site has several commonly used forms available for download. From the NAACLS home page, www.naacls.org, there are a series of links along the left-hand side of the page. Clicking on the appropriate program level will open the homepage for that level. Clicking on "CLS/MT," for example, will open the homepage for Clinical Laboratory Scientist/Medical Technologist.

The homepage for CLS/MT begins with contact information for the Discipline Lead Person and the Program Services Coordinator. These are the people to contact as you have questions or concerns during the review process. Below that, there are links to download the Standards, Documents, the Guide, helpful matrices, and other links. Many of the program homepages have matrices, which are helpful tools to assist in compliance with curriculum standards. These are intended as assistance, but are not required formats. The link to "Documents" will
open a page with numerous documents that can be accessed. There are three fields to be completed. The first is the type of document you wish to access, the second is the Title of the document, and the third is the format.

The document types and titles are very similar. Applications for continuing accreditation or approval, the Guide to Accreditation or the Programs Approval Guide, Position Change forms, Paper Review Report Forms, Site Visit Report Forms, Standards and Clinical Affiliate Summary Sheets are all available. The Fact Sheets (Sponsoring Institution, Faculty, and Clinical Facility) are contained within the Guides. The File Format permits a choice between receiving the document in Word or in Adobe .PDF formats. Please feel free to contact the NAACLS staff with any questions!
Sincerely, Dr. NAACLS
