Rabies 1xbet best casino website director passes board certification for testing human rabies titers

The Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic 1xbet best casino website announces the certification of Susan Moore, director of the Rabies 1xbet best casino website at Kansas State University, to direct human clinical 1xbet best casino website testing, including rabies titers. She recently passed certification testing administered by the American Board of Bioanalysis, which operates under the Clinical 1xbet best casino website Improvement Amendments, or CLIA, and other federal requirements.

"We have been working with Dr. Robert Flahart, current lecturer of microbiology at Washburn University and a former director of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment microbiology laboratories in Topeka, to cover these needs and requirements for many years," said Gary Anderson, director of the Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic 1xbet best casino website . "Dr. Moore's accomplishment is significant, and allows her to head specific and special areas of testing done by the Rabies Lab. This is a very good thing for the lab and the College of Veterinary Medicine."

"I had to pass two board exams: one on general 1xbet best casino website knowledge covering employment law, regulations, quality assurance, and finance as well as 1xbet best casino website practices and one on diagnostic immunology,"Moore explained. "Usually human clinical laboratories are directed by physicians who have specialized in pathology, but CLIA will also recognize people with a doctorate and minimum number of years directing and working in a high complexity human clinical 1xbet best casino website provided they are also board certified."

Moore said Kansas State University's Rabies 1xbet best casino website was a bit of an "odd duck" because it is located in a veterinary college, but performs human clinical 1xbet best casino website testing.

"Having a CLIA high-complexity 1xbet best casino website director allows us to test human samples for rabies titer, such as service samples, research samples and clinical trial samples,"Moore said. "That is why we are one of the largest rabies serology laboratories in the world. And personally, it was challenging to study for and pass the exams while working full time."

The Rabies 1xbet best casino website is the primary diagnostic lab for rabies testing in the states of Kansas and Nebraska, and meets quality monitoring standards of the Clinical 1xbet best casino website Improvement Amendments as well as numerous State departments of health. Samples received for rabies serology originate from all over the country and world.

Moore has a bachelor's degree in medical technology, and a master's degree and doctorate in pathobiology, all from Kansas State University.
