Laboratory Director Responsibilities
According to CLIA regulations, laboratory directors are responsible for the overall operation of their laboratories. The term overall operation encompasses many different individual responsibilities, and they must all be met to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations. The role of laboratory director is one of great responsibility. A significant amount of time, energy, and resources must be invested to fulfill the requirements of the role appropriately. This course will discuss the responsibilities of a laboratory director as detailed by CLIA, COLA, and other pertinent organizations.

Product Storage and Handling
Usage of various products is a vital component to a laboratory. These commonly include chemicals and biological agents. It is important to understand and implement safe handling of these materials, as well as proper storage to ensure compliancy and safety of all laboratory personnel. This course will cover OSHA standards for safe work practice and proper storage and handling of various chemicals and biological agents in the laboratory.

Thermometer Calibration and Frequency
Thermometers are very important in a clinical laboratory, with uses including ensuring samples and reagents are kept at the correct temperature to maintain stability, monitoring the temperature of water baths, incubators, refrigerators and freezers, and ensuring the correct temperature during certain test procedures.
CLIA regulations set standards for calibration procedures for laboratory instruments, frequency, and record keeping. In this course, we will discuss how CLIA calibration requirements apply to thermometers in a clinical laboratory and how and when thermometers need to be calibrated. We will also discuss record keeping and documentation for thermometer calibration and correction factors.

What is Proficiency Testing?
Proficiency testing (PT) is used to determine the performance of individual laboratories for specific tests or measurements. This process monitors a laboratorys performance. In this course we will review the PT process, understand which laboratories must participate, how often testing takes place, and how much it costs.
