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. The COLA Lab program covers all of the topics required by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
