ASCP is committed to developing public policies that not only improve the public's health through the practice of laboratory medicine, but also represent the interests of its membership.

The Commission on Public Policy is responsible for developing and monitoring the Society's public policies and government affairs activities. The Commission assists the Board of Directors in identifying and developing ASCP's Public Policy Priorities and developing ASCP's Public Policy Statements-- the baseline for federal and state advocacy efforts undertaken by ASCP staff and members.
