Seeking for Free Online CE Resources

Lok Yin Kwok posted 08-10-2024 02:32

Hello All,

I'm a ASCP (U.S.) certified MLS who moved back to my home country and continuing my practice at a local university. I have been having toubles finding Continue Education (CE) Resources online and locally because my home country has little support towards the medical/health professions. I used to gain my CE credits from the MediaLab and the ARUP Lab while I was working in the U.S.; since I quit, I can no longer access my account in both systems.

I am currently using ASCP and CDC OneLab for my CE credits. Are there any other free online CE resources you would suggest?

Thank you so much in advance for your time and information.

Best regards,

Maryanna Kwok

Lok Yin Kwok,

Most of the reference labs in the US have a few free CEU courses. You may have to search a bit on each page, but you can usually find an "Education" link. Try Quest Diagnostics, Mayo Clinic Labs, ARUP Laboratories, etc. Good luck!

Definitely many resources besides professional societies and organizations and associations and LinkedIn and facility services and podcasts and see attached links

Send me an email to kotrla@gmail.com. I just updated my list of sites that offer free CE. You should be able to find enough variety to meet certification needs.

As an ASCP member, you should be able to get unlimited CE option with your yearly membership for $39 USD. While not completely free it is a nice deal.
Even with my “grandfather” clause earning MT(ASCP), my original certification with ASCP, I still find this worthwhile both for educational purposes it provides plus a small amount that aids this organization.

Dear All,

I would like to say a big thank you to all the laboratory professionals who replied to my message and shared their thoughts/information with me. I will definitely look into the links and do a bit more research on the sites.

Once again, thank you so much!
