What you'll be able to do

The job, done properly.

  • Commission a POCT network with defeat tests
  • Brief customers on interference and identification
  • Commission centrifuges and fridges with alarms proved to a person
  • Present cost per reported result honestly
  • Handle cold chain breaks and suspect counterfeits

The story

Crescent Medical Distribution's laboratory and point-of-care portfolio: blood gas, glucose, centrifuges and cold-chain equipment for the Medical City hospitals and clinics.

Rania MansourField Service and Clinical Applications Manager · your mentor (a character in the track)
“The hardware is mostly fine; the faults are in settings left at the vendor's defaults. Test each control by trying to defeat it: an expired QC vial, a lapsed operator, a wrong patient, the wrong units.”

Proof

Only evidence counts.

A step is done when there is evidence: a simulation score, a saved work document, a passed check or a signed observation. Opening a page never ticks anything.

  • Before and afterThe same baseline check on day one and in the final week, scored per competency.
  • Mastery, not attendanceEach competency has a mastery threshold. Below it, the track routes you to the named remediation items and a re-check; a week cannot be ticked complete by opening items alone.
  • The audit packYour weekly work documents and capstones, ready for a supervisor, an employer or an inspector.

The certificate

BMEssentia Certificate of Completion: Field Service & Clinical Specialist, Laboratory and point of care branch

It names the track and the level you completed. Your portfolio holds the work behind it.

  • All 6 weeks' required items done at the learner's level
  • At least 6 of 7 competencies mastered
  • Final check at or above the level's pass mark
  • Capstone at 3 or above on every criterion, signed off by the manager or professor (institutions) or AI-assisted rubric review (individuals)

A POCT network or laboratory move pack

Commission a POCT network or a laboratory equipment move with every control defeat-tested and every alarm proved to a person.

Evidence it gives: Laboratory commissioning evidence.

POCT governance training for a hospital

Design and deliver a POCT governance session for a hospital's POCT committee and users: interference, identification, QC and operator control, with a check.

Evidence it gives: Customer governance training evidence.

A laboratory field case file

Document one laboratory or POCT fault or incident end to end, with evidence, cause, fix and vigilance actions.

Evidence it gives: First-time-fix and vigilance evidence.

Three levels

Easy, Medium or Hard.

A baseline check on day one places you, or you choose. The competencies are the same at every level; the support and the pressure change.

Easy

Baseline under 50%, or chosen · simulations at Foundation

Worked examples first; Foundation simulations; harder cases hidden.

Medium

Baseline 50% to 74%, or chosen · simulations at Practitioner

Practitioner difficulty; the scheduled-fault and wrong-patient cases shown.

Hard

Baseline 75% and above, or chosen · simulations at Expert

Expert difficulty, every case, timed boss week.
