We have been accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) through their Laboratory Accreditation Program (LAP). Do we automatically receive full Ontario Accreditation?
We recognize that the CAP program is comprehensive and rigorous. While CAP accreditation will help participants prepare for Ontario accreditation assessment, LAP certification will not automatically ensure full OLA certification. Participation in OLAs peer accreditation process and demonstration of full conformance to its requirements will be necessary for all Ontario laboratories. Where equivalency can be established, assessment will not be duplicated.
