MRO TERMS

FYI TESTING 

MRO qualifications require that the MRO is licensed as a medical doctor (MD) or doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO) in any one state. The MRO must have knowledge of substance abuse disorders, plus clinical experience. The MRO must pass a certification test by a nationally recognized MRO certification board (e.g., MROCC, AAMRO) which includes a mandated training curriculum. The MRO is required to complete re-qualification training every five (5) years. MRO’s do not work for the laboratory nor do they have a financial relationship with the laboratory. The laboratory may not derive financial benefit by having an employer use a specific MRO. FYI Testing maintains this independent relationship with the MRO in all of its operations.
