5. My wife is a retired medical technologist

She was trained and licensed in California, with a BS in microbiology(BC only requires a 3 year diploma) had 27 years of experience and was section head of hematology and then blood bank.

The BC credentialing body still made her take almost three years of distance learning coursework , mostly in histology, and then finally allowed her to take their licensing exam, at a cost of thousands of dollars. She passed, of course, then worked in the lab for another 3-4 years before retiring when COVID hit.

That was 12 years ago- supposedly, the BC government is working with the credentialing bodies to streamline the process.

I encourage you to use the resources at the links I provided to get up to date current information.
