CLIA Microbiology / Serology Competency Assessment (Online Course)

Patrick Barnes MA MT(ASCP)

CLIA Microbiology / Serology will sharpen your skills in identifying suspicious forms in blood, stool, sputum, and urine, gram positive and gram negative organisms, and traits of organisms commonly encountered in laboratory practice. 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 Microbiology / Serology is also ideal for facilities needing to document CLIA competency for their employees.

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.
