The ABMLI Application to take the Certification Exam

Deadline June 1

American Board of Medical Laboratory Immunology (ABMLI)

The ABMLI was established in 1975 to test the expertise of immunologists. Board-certified

immunologists are adjudged capable to direct laboratories engaged in the practice of medical

laboratory immunology. Certification by the ABMLI is the highest credential available to

practicing medical laboratory immunologists.

ABMLI certification is recognized by federal and state governmental agencies as a significant

component toward meeting licensure requirements to direct laboratories engaged in the

microbiological diagnosis of human disease. It is recognized under the Clinical Laboratory

Improvement Amendments of 1988 final rule and in all 12 states that require licensure: California,

Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Rhode

Island, Tennessee, and West Virginia.

After your application has been approved, the exam registration window opens on June 15 and

closes on August 24 of each year. On that date, provided your application has been approved,

you will be sent an email containing instructions for registering for the exam. As part of the

registration process, you will select your testing center, your desired date and time, and pay the

exam registration fee. If you are approved after the exam registration window has opened,

you will be sent registration instructions at the time you are approved. Approved applicants are

advised to register to take the exam as soon as possible after the registration window opens

to ensure maximum flexibility in selecting their testing location and time.
