Does a PharmD qualify you as a Technical Consultant

I’m trying to manage competency assessors. As I look through staff degrees, does a BS in pharmacy count as for CLIA as a chemical or biological degree and thus allow me to qualify this person as a technical consultant as long as they have the lab experience?
I’m trying to decide if I can use some of these staff members as competency assessors.

I think you need to look at their transcript and see how Pharm classes are categorized as. Are they pharmacy or bio or chem? 
CAP has a sheet with how many credits people need to qualify now for a TC.

Agree with JoAnn, a credit evaluation must be completed to determine if they qualify.
