Attention lab professionals and managers - the ASCP 2026 Vacancy Survey is officially open!
This survey has been the go-to source for understanding workforce shortages in medical laboratories since 1988. Every two years, labs across the country share their data on vacancies, hiring timelines, staffing challenges, and more - and the results are published and used by policymakers, educators, and industry leaders.
The more labs that respond, the stronger and more accurate the national picture becomes. Whether you're dealing with hard-to-fill positions or managing a fully staffed team, your data tells part of the story.
