Out of my field, but since no other answers have come forth: BSMT=Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology ASCP I believe stands for American Society of Clinical Pathology, which is the organization that sets standards and I think conducts examinations for laboratory technicians. (I think this was recently described on LN comparing the early growth of that discipline to what is currently happening with IBLCE's progress in helping bring some standardization to the LC profession.) I hope someone with this professional background corrects me if I have it wrong. Jean ********* K.
