CLIA Chemistry / Urinalysis Competency Assessment

Patrick Barnes MA MT(ASCP)

CLIA Chemistry / Urinalysis tests a broad range of laboratory knowledge such as urine microscopy, body fluid analysis, preanalytic variables that could affect some test results, chemistry instrumentation and test methods, correlation of lab test results with diseases and disorders, and more. A review module facilitates learning with interactive questions and detailed feedback. The subsequent assessment will evaluate proficiency and award CE credit, making this course ideal for individuals needing documentation of continuing education credits and also for facilities needing to document CLIA competency for their employees.

Course Outline

This course consists of two components - an ungraded review mode, which includes 150 questions and answers that will help you to quiz yourself on the included topics, and a graded competency assessment mode, which includes 40 questions selected at random from the questions included in review mode. The competency assessment component carries CE credit, but the review component does not. You'll need to complete the graded competency assessment component in order to receive the listed continuing education credit. The review component can be accessed as many times as you like, and the competency assessment component can be repeated until you reach a passing score.
