A Personal Milestone: From Learner to ISO 15189 Clinical Laboratory Assessor

Nov 30
I’m thrilled to share a new achievement in my career—I recently became an ISO 15189 Approved Assessor for Medical Laboratory Accreditation, certified by the American Accreditation Association (AAA). This accomplishment represents countless hours of study, hands-on training, and a commitment to maintaining the highest standards in laboratory quality. But more importantly, it represents a belief I hold closely: In healthcare, we never stop learning. There is truly no limit to knowledge. Every certificate we earn and every skill we build enhances the service we provide to our patients, our teams, and the healthcare community. Achievements like this remind me why professional growth is not just valuable—it’s essential.

What Is ISO 15189:2022 and Why Does It Matter?

I can understand ISO 15189:2022 as built around two key pillars that shape laboratory excellence:

1. Quality Management

Ensuring processes are documented, consistent, and capable of delivering accurate and reliable results.

2. Technical Competence

Ensuring staff, equipment, and methodologies meet the highest scientific and operational standards.

When a laboratory achieves ISO 15189 accreditation, it shows that it:

  • Follows internationally recognized best practices
  • Produces accurate, traceable, and reliable results
  • Maintains strong internal and external quality control
  • Implements risk-based approaches to prevent errors
  • Prioritizes ethical practice and patient safety
  • Continuously evaluates and improves its performance

To hospitals, clinicians, and patients, ISO 15189 is more than a certificate—it’s a guarantee of trust in both quality and competence.
