Your employees may need to earn continuing education for AMT, ASCP, or NCA recertification requirements, or your state may require licensed laboratory personnel to complete CE annually or bi-annually. Help your employees stay in compliance by providing the CE that they need.
Even if your employees aren't required to complete CE by your state, CLIA '88 still recommends that all laboratory personnel consider continuing education to help skill their knowledge and skills up-to-date. With MediaLab, you can provide continuing education to all of your laboratory employees alongside required OSHA safety and compliance courses.
A MediaLab subscription includes 44 courses with over 84 hours of ASCLS P.A.C.E.® continuing education. There are no additional charges for awarding credits or printing certificates. This makes MediaLab a very cost-effective solution for providing continuing education for your entire laboratory. Your employees can also earn ASCLS P.A.C.E.® credits for completing OSHA safety and compliance courses that are included with a MediaLab subscription.
MediaLab offers American Society of Clinical Laboratory Science (ASCLS) Professional Acknowledgment for Continuing Education® (P.A.C.E.®) credits for all 44 courses. P.A.C.E.® credits are widely recognized in the clinical laboratory profession and can be used to fulfill most continuing education requirements. P.A.C.E.® credits are appropriate for CLIA '88 recommendations, state licensure, certification agencies and employers. MediaLab is P.A.C.E.® provider number #578.
P.A.C.E.® credits are accepted by:
P.A.C.E.® credits are also accepted by all states that require continuing education for laboratory license renewal:
States not listed either do not require clinical laboratory personnel to be licensed by the state or do not require continuing education as part of the licensing, certification, or renewal process (Georgia, Hawaii). However, residents of all states may still need to complete continuing education for AMT, ASCP, NCA, or employer requirements and recertifications.
In addition to P.A.C.E. credits®, nearly all of MediaLab's courses also carry Florida credits, which satisfy the requirements of the Florida Board of Clinical Laboratory Science. Subscribers that provide a Florida license number will have their Florida credits reported directly to CEBroker, Florida's computerized system for tracking continuing education. MediaLab also offers several Florida-specific courses required of all CLS licensees, including HIV Safety, Laws and Rules of the Florida Board, and Medical Error Prevention.
