LabUniversity®: COLA’s Laboratory Director Program
The qualifications you need to become a lab director may surprise you. There is much more than having MD, DO, or another degree after your name. A physician needs to meet specific education and experience requirements before directing a moderate complexity laboratory. That's where COLA's Lab Director Program is an invaluable resource. This program covers all of the topics required by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
