Hi all,
Does anyone have a job description for a Technical or Clinical Consultant that they are willing to share?  We have title specific to our site ones like POCC or Chair of Pathology but I was looking for a general job description for those and LD also if available.

Thanks in advance :)

Hey Adonica!! I think I understand what you are looking for, as far as what the TC would be responsible for? We have this listed out in our System Lab Medical Director Delegation policy. Maybe some help?

See an example from the policy for TC, the LD description is wayyyy long in this policy and covers a lot more than what you are looking for. 
Technical Consultant/Technical Supervisor 
Role: Ensures technical requirements outlined in CLIA are met Responsibilities: 
• Method selection, validation, or verification
• Proficiency testing (PT): enrollment, testing procedures, attestation signing, reporting, review, and corrective action 
• Quality assessment/control program implementation and monitoring 
• Analytic test performance established and maintained 
• Testing deviations identified and remediated 
• Testing personnel trained and competency monitored 
• Procedure manuals complete, available, and followed 

CLIA-Defined Roles for Waived, Moderate and High Complexity Patient Testing and CAP Personnel Requirements (Minimum Standard(s)):
• Laboratory Director: MD, DO, or DPM with a current medical license and laboratory training/experience OR Doctoral degree in chemical, physical, biological or clinical laboratory sciences with certification by a board approved by HHS. Moderate Complexity Testing 
• Technical Consultant: bachelor’s degree in chemical, physical, biological, or clinical laboratory science or medical technology with at least 2 years of experience in nonwaived testing in the designated specialty/subspecialty area 

If you don't already have the qualifications for a technical consultant refer to 42 CFR § 493.1411 - Standard; Technical consultant qualifications. I had to learn this for training for providers and midlevel practitioner's training and competencies who perform moderate complexity testing.

We outline the various CLIA roles in a Roles and Responsibilities policy. Then whoever is designated as TC, CC, Tech Supervisor etc, we have a document saying the Medical Director has delegated these individuals in these roles by name, or position is also OK. E.g. Bob Brown as TC, John Smith as CC, POCC is TC etc. So we make sure1. Each role is assigned, 2. Inspectors can see the delegation in writing 3. We know what competencies to assess.
