To become certified, candidates must first meet rigorous educational and experiential eligibility requirements and then pass a comprehensive written examination. It tests a candidate's knowledge in bacteriology, mycology, parasitology, virology, and management. The ABMM certifies microbiologists seeking to direct public health or clinical microbiology laboratories. ABMM certification is recognized by federal and state governmental agencies as a significant component toward meeting licensure requirements for high complexity laboratory directors under CLIA '88.

Certification is a tangible credential that documents your abilities and tells employers you are tested and proven. It's a great way to stand out among similarly trained colleagues and gain distinction in the laboratory and profession. Isn't it time you got the recognition you deserve?
