Committee on the Accreditation of Educational Programs in Laboratory Science

The Committee on the Accreditation of Educational Programs in Laboratory Science (CAEP) is a professional organization that evaluates and certifies educational programs in laboratory science, such as medical laboratory technology and clinical laboratory science. Its goal is to ensure these programs meet high standards of quality, curriculum, faculty expertise, and student outcomes. Accreditation by CAEP assures students, employers, and healthcare providers that graduates are well-trained and qualified to perform essential laboratory tests that support patient diagnosis and care. Essentially, CAEP helps maintain excellence and consistency in laboratory science education nationwide.
