PPM and Training

As a Medical Laboratory Scientist (ASCP) CM, can I sign off on providers for PPM Annual Competencies. Before I stepped up into the role of POCC, it has always been the Lab's Medical Director who does the annual competency sign off. Most of the time, it is a bit hard to schedule these annual competencies for him to sign off for other providers around the organization. The prior POCC stated that the Medical Director does the Annual Competencies because it was just much easier to have a "Doctor" sign off another "Doctor" versus a MLS sign off a "Doctor". Now, I am unsure whether I can or cannot sign off a provider for PPM.

It sounds like the previous POCC had difficulties with physicians so they asked the lab medical director to do these but you are well within your scope to perform these yourself.
Hope this helps, I can find the JC quality requirements if you need those.
For the Tech Consultant CLIA role if in doubt you qualify then ask at State level to be sure.
The Tech Consultant has a 2 years experience component (‘related field’) but one does not have to perform testing (eg wet prep, KOH) in order to do Tech Consultant role.
Good Luck.
