ASCP Testing the Limits   -  Video Contest for Lab Week

National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week (Lab Week) is an annual celebration of the medical laboratory professionals and pathologists who play a vital role in every aspect of health care. Lab Week is your chance to let people know about your dedication and commitment to your profession and to quality patient care.
Since lab professionals often work behind the scenes, few people know that the critical testing they perform every day saves lives, reduces morbidity, and helps control the cost of care. Today, with advances in analytical science and automation–and as cost pressures reduce patient stays in the hospital–your work in the laboratory is more important than ever.
Lab Week is a time to honor the more than 300,000 medical laboratory professionals around the country who perform and interpret more than 10 billion laboratory tests in the United States every year. As they have for the last 37 years, Lab Week events will take place throughout the fourth week in April.
