Did you miss the updates to CLIA personnel regulations that were published last week? 👀 Here's a quick rundown of two of the major announcements all lab professionals should be aware of: -CMS changed its proposal to make nursing degrees equivalent to biological sciences degrees, closing a loophole that would have potentially allowed BSN holders to serve as lab directors. CMS said it will create a separate pathway and educational requirements for those with nursing degrees to become moderate complexity testing personnel. 🔬 -Those holding or pursuing a Doctorate of Clinical Laboratory Science (DCLS) also received great news as the agency clarified the degree will qualify for the role of a High Complexity Lab Director. 🙌 #medicallaboratory #DCLS #laboratoryprofessionals

Qualify to set for the board exam by CLIA does not mean the exam board agencies will qualify to set for the exam , the degree is just the beginning !!!
