Public Health Microbiology

Certification for Directors and Technical Supervisors

To address the chronic shortage of laboratory scientists certified to direct a high complexity public health laboratory, ABB and the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) have agreed to offer a board certification in public health microbiology.  The certification will afford doctoral-level scientists and technical supervisors in public health laboratories a new means to qualify for certification under CLIA.  The certification will be the first to examine specifically for the training and experience required to direct a state or large municipal public health laboratory.
