About Us

ASCLS-HAWAII is affiliated with the American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science (ASCLS). The ASCLS-HAWAII is a part of ASCLS Region Ten, which include Arizona, California, and Nevada's Societies for Clinical Laboratory Science. Members maintain their ASCLS. membership through the state and local societies like ours. Within the ASCLS-HAWAII, members are able to discuss local and statewide problems, compare and contrast issues, standards and methodologies of their respective laboratories, and stimulate local/regional interest in the profession. ASCLS-HAWAII produces a newsletter, Kokonut Wireless Nius, to facilitate communications among its members. Workshops and seminars are sponsored to provide continuing education. Throughout the year, ASCLS-HAWAII also sponsors an annual meeting in May of each year. As required by the ASCLS Bylaws, an individual must hold membership at the state and national levels. It is this organizational structure that allows for appropriate channeling of local needs to the national level and national activities and programs back to the individual members.
