Do clinical personnel (e.g., x-ray, pharmacy, and medical laboratory technologists in the hospital) have to take the training and be credentialed?
No. If clinical laboratory people are hired by the hospital or clinical lab — not by researchers, and if their main work centers on regular, non-research clinical medicine, they do not have to be credentialed or have special training. If someone works in a research lab, even if they perform the same tests as clinical laboratory personnel, they are considered to be research personnel and will need to be credentialed and meet the annual training requirements in human research protection and Good Clinical Practices.
