Quality Assurance and Standards |
Quality Assurance and Laboratory Standards CommitteeThe Quality Assurance and Laboratory Standards (QALS) Committee is concerned with quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) in veterinary laboratory diagnostic testing. Committee members include board-certified veterinary clinical pathologists, medical technologists, and clinical pathology residents. The committee develops quality assurance guidelines with recommendations and checklists to promote and enhance QA/QC within laboratories performing diagnostic testing of animal samples. Our efforts have resulted in development of guidelines for the ASVCP that are freely available via the ASVCP website and as Special Reports in the journal Veterinary Clinical Pathology. The committee also has an advisory role for the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA) and the Academy of Veterinary Clinical Pathology Technicians (AVCPT). As for the other ASVCP committees, QALS periodically organizes pre-meeting workshops on quality assurance and standards at the annual ASVCP/ACVP meeting. 2018-2019 QALS Committee Members
