Laboratory Technical Consultant Services
Part-Time Technical Supervisor / Consultant Services
Our Laboratory Technical Consultant Services allow you to meet requirements for your laboratory yet avoid the overhead expense of a full-time employee.
How Does it Work?
The ability of a laboratory to provide quality services cannot be achieved without the direct involvement of dedicated Technical Management. In a moderate complexity lab, this is typically the Technical Consultant and in a high complexity lab, this is typically one or more Technical Supervisors. These positions are required by CLIA, and each laboratory technical consultant or supervisor is essential for the success of your business. As the leader in recruiting and staffing for clinical laboratories, we have placed more than 1,000 lab directors, technical consultants and supervisors throughout the country in all lab specialties.
We can provide you with a qualified individual that meets your accrediting body’s (CLIA, COLA, or CAP) and state’s requirements for a Technical Supervisor. If you aren’t sure which technical position your lab requires, read more about each role below.

Can a moderate complexity lab have multiple TCs?
Yes – as long as they are all qualified and the responsibilities are being met, there is no CLIA or COLA restriction on the number of TCs that can work with a lab. There should be a clear and written schedule or delineation of duties, so that all TCs working with a lab are clear on what responsibilities they are assigned.
Is there a limit to the number of labs that a TS/TC can be the TS/TC for?
No. CLIA does not restrict the number of labs that a TC or TS can work with; however, we recommend that any TC or TS who serves multiple labs be aware of their own limitations and bandwidth to determine how many labs it is feasible to adequately keep up with in order to provide quality TC or TS services.
Is there a possibility for TS/TC to work remotely?
Does the TS/TC have to be in the same state as the lab?
Not necessarily. Many TS/TCs provide their services to labs in other states. Many communications and reviews can be done from a remote location.
