SUBJECT OF EXAMINATION: TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE EVALUATION
READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION THOROUGHLY.
THIS INFORMATION WILL AFFECT YOUR FINAL GRADE!
The only subject of examination will be an evaluation of your training and experience. You will receive a grade on this exam based upon your previous education, current ASCP registration and your licensed work experience as a Medical Technologist - and how you document the required information.
Be specific; vagueness and ambiguity will not be resolved in your favor. Additional information will not be accepted after submission of your application.
It is critical that you follow the directions exactly as shown below. Documentation submitted either prior to or after the submission of your application will not be accepted.
· In order to receive credit for a Bachelor's degree (or higher) in either Medical Technology or in a biological or biochemical science you must attach either a student copy transcript or a copy of your diploma for each degree with your application.
· In order to receive credit for registration with the American Society of Clinical Pathologists you must attach a copy of your current registration.
· In order to receive full credit for your work experience as a Medical Technologist you must include a copy of your ORIGINAL LICENSE from the appropriate governmental agency, such as the New York State Department of Education. If you only include a copy of your current New York State registration then you will not be given credit for any work experience as a Medical Technologist that pre-dates your current New York State registration.
You must also supply all of the information requested on the application (form CSX-1) for each position you list. If you do not, you may not receive credit for that work experience.
Pay particular attention to the following items:
· The dates of your employment must be in mm/yy format,
· Do not write "varied" or give a range of hours for "Hours Worked per Week." Instead, estimate the number of hours worked in a typical week.
· Under "Title" and "Duties," clearly differentiate between licensed experience as a Medical Technologist and all other work experience.
Note regarding resumes: The submission of a resume – which is not required - does not relieve you of the responsibility for completing all sections of the application.
