In Japan, the education of clinical chemists has mainly depended on personal efforts of individuals in medical schools, pharmacy schools and independent laboratories for medical analysis. Through the Board of Clinical Pathologists, the Japanese Society of Clinical Pathology at present provides certification in clinical chemistry as a subspecialty to physicians and the Society also certifies medical technologists at two levels for several subspecialties, including clinical chemistry. At the same time, the Education Committee of the Japanese Society of Clinical Chemistry offers annual summer and winter seminars for continuing education. In the future, these programs will be integrated into a regular postgraduate continuing education structure. However, it is urgent for the Japanese Society of Clinical Chemistry to establish alternate qualification and certification programs for clinical chemists.
在日本，临床化学家的培养主要依赖于医学院校、药学院校以及独立医学分析实验室中个人的努力。目前，日本临床病理学会通过临床病理学家委员会，为医师提供临床化学亚专业认证，该学会还为包括临床化学在内的多个亚专业的医学技术人员提供两级认证。同时，日本临床化学学会教育委员会每年举办夏季和冬季研讨会以进行继续教育。未来，这些项目将被纳入正规的研究生继续教育体系。然而，日本临床化学学会迫切需要为临床化学家建立替代的资格和认证项目。
