Seeking ASCP HTL CERT Route 2 - Previous supervisor will not sign off
I am trying to go for my HTL through Route 2! I have a BS degree in Biology and have had over 1 year in a clinical pathology lab (as a lab assistant), so I have satisfied the requirements.
Long story short, I received training from my previous lab, so I know how to use a microtome and stain and most of the hands on histo skills. However, when I left my previous lab, my lab lead/supervisor was unhappy and would not sign to verify my experience. She has now since left that lab.
My new lab isn’t exactly a histology lab, but we work directly with pathology. My current supervisor is a certified histologist and was more than happy to sign off on my experience.
However, when applying for the certification through ASCP, the application says I should make sure to upload signatures from all labs I received experience in, which includes the one with my previous supervisor who will not sign and has left that lab as well.
Can my current supervisor still vouch for all my experience, even experience received at my previous lab?
Also, has anyone ever heard back from ASCP asking for clarification on the sign-off, like has ASCP ever inquired further and asked for more information from any supervisor who signed off for anyone??
