Find Your Laboratory CE Path
Start with the obligation you are maintaining
State licensure and national credential maintenance are separate systems. Start with the state license or credential that controls your requirement, then use the detailed guide for the rules that actually apply.
ASCP BOC CMP
Understand participation, credential-specific point distributions, qualifying activities, allocation, audits and expiration.

Montana Guidance Live Now
Montana has a distinct annual laboratory CE framework
Montana requires 14 hours of continuing education annually for licensees subject to the recurring requirement, but the requirement does not begin until the licensee's first full year of licensure. The detailed Montana guide also covers qualifying content, teaching credit, renewal timing, documentation and audit readiness.
Continuing Education for Laboratory Credentials
Credential maintenance can create a separate CE obligation
ASCP BOC CMP
ASCP BOC CMP participation and point requirements depend on credential, original certification timing and credential status. P.A.C.E. is not the only possible ASCP acceptance pathway. Use the dedicated ASCP CMP guide for participation, point allocations, what counts, external CE entry and allocation, audits and expiration rules.
AMT and other credentials
Other national credentials can have their own maintenance programs and acceptance rules. MyHealthCE does not treat one credentialing organization's CE framework as interchangeable with another. Check the current requirements published by your credentialing organization.
Laboratory CE Requirements by State
State rules can differ in hours, timing and acceptable education
Montana
Montana uses an annual framework with a first-full-year timing rule, profession-specific content criteria, teaching credit and audit provisions. Use the detailed state guide before deciding what CE you need.
Florida
Florida has profession-specific clinical laboratory continuing education requirements, including standard renewal, first-renewal, specialty CE, missed-renewal status, and Supervisor qualification pathways.

State License + Certification
One professional can have more than one CE obligation
State-license requirements and national certification-maintenance requirements are separate. Some activities may support more than one obligation, but acceptance rules can be directional and jurisdiction-specific. Use the relevant state guide and the ASCP CMP guide before assuming cross-credit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Laboratory CE basics
What is clinical laboratory continuing education?
Clinical laboratory continuing education is ongoing professional education used to maintain knowledge, competence, a state license, a national credential, or more than one of those obligations. The controlling requirements depend on the organization or jurisdiction involved.
How do laboratory CE requirements vary by state or credential?
States can set different hour totals, renewal cycles, subject requirements, documentation standards and provider rules. National credentials can use separate point distributions and acceptance rules. Start with the obligation you are maintaining rather than assuming one universal laboratory CE rule.
Where can I find ASCP CMP requirements?
Use the ASCP BOC CMP guide for participation, credential-specific point requirements, what counts, allocation, audits and expired-credential rules.
Can one activity sometimes support more than one requirement?
Sometimes, but only when the activity independently satisfies each organization's current rules. Check the applicable state guide and credential guide before using the same activity for multiple obligations.
Which states have laboratory CE requirements?
State licensure and CE requirements vary. See the Montana and Florida guides on this page, and consult your licensing board for requirements in other states.
Can laboratory CE be completed online?
Online delivery alone does not establish eligibility. Whether online CE qualifies depends on the state, credentialing organization, provider/course status and the documentation rules that apply.
Regulatory Information You Can Verify
Detailed guides identify the authority that controls
MyHealthCE uses current primary licensing and credentialing sources and displays a regulatory review date on detailed guides. The licensing board or credentialing organization—not MyHealthCE—controls the requirement.
