Audit Preparation, Inspections, and Continuous Improvement
The course is designed to equip clinical laboratory directors with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively manage CLIA-regulated laboratories. A gap exists in formalized education for new lab directors regarding regulatory requirements, quality assurance, and leadership in the laboratory setting. CME credit highlights the course’s role in filling this critical gap, ensuring lab directors are well-prepared to meet their responsibilities. CLIA has mandated that for a person to qualify as a Lab Director, they must have 20 CME credits in Lab Director Role and Responsibilities.
The AAFP has reviewed Laboratory Director CME Certification: CLIA Lab Director Responsibilities - Enduring, and deemed it acceptable for AAFP credit. Term of approval is from 03/04/2025 to 03/03/2026. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity (1.5 hours).
