CLIA General Laboratory Competency Assessment (Online Course)

Patrick Barnes MA MT(ASCP)

CLIA General Laboratory touches on many subjects that are important to clinical laboratory professionals including fire safety, chemical safety, laboratory instrumentation, and test utilization. A review module allows you to learn with interactive questions and detailed feedback, and when you're ready, the competency assessment will document your proficiency and award CE credit. CLIA General Laboratory is also ideal for facilities needing to document CLIA competency for their employees.

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.
