Interpreting Standard 5B
by Claudia Miller, PhD
MT(ASCP), CLS Chair, CLSPRC |
Standard 5B-1 addresses the need for an advisory committee- At the time of the site visit, documentation must be presented that shows
evidence of the committee's input. Contributions may include, but are not
limited to the following:
There must be an advisory committee composed of individual(s) from the
An advisory committee can be composed of a single individual, if desired. On the
other hand, it may represent many areas of expertise. The intent of this
Standard is to have a reference body for the officials of the program. In 2001,
the mandatory appointment of a medical director/advisor was removed with the
publication of the new Standards; however, the medical director/advisor may
still serve as the only member of the advisory committee or as one of its
members.
community of interest (i.e. pathologists, other physicians, scientific consultants,
academic professionals, administrators, practicing clinical laboratory scientists
medical technologists, practicing clinical laboratory technicians/medical laboratory
technicians, histotechnologists, histotechnicians, guidance counselors, and
other professionals) who have knowledge of clinical laboratory science education.
To provide optimum input to the program, the advisory committee should be
separate and distinct from the program's faculty committee. Faculty may be
included as members of the advisory committee, but usually are non-voting
members.
Standard 5B-2 addresses the responsibilities of the advisory committee-
The advisory committee of the program shall have input into an
aspect of the program/curriculum with regard to its current relevancy
and effectiveness.
- strengthening relations with the healthcare community
- connecting the program to industry, research, etc.
- suggesting curriculum revisions
- developing goals and standards
- assisting in recruiting
- developing clinical sites
- participating in program review, assessment and accreditation activities
- assisting with obtaining external funding
