International Directory of Biomedical Laboratory Science Education (IDBLSE)
The aim of the IDBLSE is to build an international database of Biomedical Laboratory Science education by country.
Members are invited to visit the IDBLSE website at http://idblse.editme.com/ and submit updates for your country.
About IDBLSE
The International Directory of Biomedical Laboratory Science Educations, IDBLSE, is developed and hosted by the International Federation of Biomedical Laboratory Science, IFBLS. The goal is to present Biomedical Laboratory Scientist education by country, as well as publish historical data from previous editions of IDBLSE.
History
The first “International Directory of Medical Laboratory Science Educations” (IDMLSE) was published in 1994, by Britta Karlsson and her colleagues in cooperation with the International Association of Medical Laboratory Technologists (IAMLT) – now IFBLS.
In 2002, when IFBLS changed its name to IFBLS, the directory was renamed as the “International Directory of Biomedical Laboratory Science Education”, IDBLSE.
Since the beginning in 1994 several versions has been published, first as hard copies, later as files sent to IFBLS member associations. In 2015 a simplified form was made to present the most important and current information from each country, and since 2020 work has been ongoing to present information online.
We look forward to expanding our online database. If you have any questions or comments, please email us at

Dr. Alba Marzo
It is with deep sadness that we inform IFBLS members of the death of our former Board Member, colleague and friend from Italy, Dr Alba Marzo.
Alba was an enthusiastic proponent of the profession of Biomedical Laboratory Science both in Italy, where she lectured in the University of Florence, and within the International Federation.
Few who knew her will ever forget her keen intellect, radiant smile, sense of humour and love of fashion.
We shall hold close our memories of her at our Congress in her home city of Florence.
To her family, colleagues and friends IFBLS offers sincerest condolences.

The International Directory of Biomedical Laboratory Science Education (IDBLSE) was originally created in 1988. The Chief Delegates of IFBLS member associations agreed that the directory is a valuable tool and should be updated to provide current information.
Many individual and Associations have contributed their time and information in the updated version of this document and the IFBLS Board wishes to thank all involved for their assistance.
It is hoped this document will be beneficial to educators and all working in Biomedical Laboratory Science. The IDBLSE Directory is available in the "Members Only" area of the IFBLS website. www.ifbls.org
