CLIA Hematology / Hemostasis Competency Assessment

Patrick Barnes MA MT(ASCP)

CLIA Hematology / Hemostasis reviews normal and abnormal RBCs, hematopoiesis, hemoglobin, anemia, and assays. 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 Hematology / Hemostasis is also ideal for facilities needing to document CLIA competency for their employees.
