Benchmark: Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) Regulations: Proposed Updates and Public Comment

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from the course on the CLIA Request for Information (RFI).

This short check helps you see whether you grasp the RFI’s intent, who is affected, and how to submit high-impact comments that shape future CLIA updates.

  • Understand why CMS/CDC are seeking input now (no rule changes yet) and how your voice can guide what comes next.
  • Spot operational implications across breath testing, lab processes, AI/software, data-only facilities, emergency preparedness, biosafety/biosecurity, and cybersecurity.
  • Learn how to craft focused, evidence-backed comments that regulators can use.
  • Weigh key trade-offs: quality vs access, innovation vs safety, compliance vs flexibility, centralization vs responsiveness.

If several prompts feel challenging or the trade-offs aren’t clear, you’ll likely gain a lot from the course. If most feel straightforward, the course can still sharpen your comment strategy and readiness.

NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all Benchmarks are free of charge!
