Important ASHI Updates

ASHI University is moving to a new platform

ASHI University will be moving to the LearningBuilder platform in January 2023. Please look out for notices in the new year regarding the new platform website and log-in instructions. The new system will offer single sign-on from the ASHI website, so your username and password will remain the same.


Please retrieve any CE certificate information you need from the current site before the end of the year. If you have any questions, please contact info@ashi-hla.org.

Committee Corner

ASHI Technologist and Director Mentor Program

Technologist Mentor Program

This program pairs technologists with more experienced HLA professionals (Senior Technologists, Supervisors, and Managers), or mentors, to share knowledge, experience, and advice with a mentee.



Director Mentor Program

This program pairs new Directors with more experienced Directors on an informal basis for the purpose of providing one-on-one guidance and advice to the newer Directors (mentees). An experienced Director will volunteer to serve as a mentor to a less experienced Director for at least a period of one year, during which time the mentor and mentee are encouraged to communicate on a monthly basis for discussions on mutually agreed topics.

2022 Reports: HT-2, EMO-2, and AC-2

PT results have been submitted for all 2022 surveys. Email notifications will be sent to participating laboratories once the 2022 reports for the fall shipments have been finalized.

 

2023 Ordering

Labs can submit their 2023 PT orders in the ASHI PT Lab Center. To place an order, login with the username of your lab’s main lab account. (Personal ASHI accounts don’t have access to the PT order screen.)


There are two deadlines for ordering this year. For US and Canadian labs, the deadline for placing your 2023 PT order is Friday, December 9th. For international labs, the deadline is Monday, January 9th.
