The myths surrounding the licensure of clinical laboratory personnel are numerous, but many licensure detractors skew the facts in an attempt to convince both laboratorians and the general public that licensure of lab personnel is unnecessary. In her argument in favor of national licensure, longtime laboratory manager Diana Mass presents her case that debunks many of the so-called truths surrounding the negative impact of licensure.
Those who argue in favor of licensure for clinical laboratory scientists have their priorities in order, but fail to recognize the realities that would ensue were national licensure to be instituted. Higher health-care costs, elimination of rural facilities, and licensure board fraud are all unintended, yet dangerous, consequences that could occur. In his argument against national licensure, laboratory director Jack Garon summarizes some of the most salient research done regarding licensure and presents his case why it is unnecessary in the clinical laboratory.
