This course will provide the basic instruction for the Certified Instrument Specialist (CIS) exam, testing the knowledge and recognition of medical instruments, as well as reviewing instrumentation practice skills. It’s a must-have certification for CS professionals holding the CRCST designation (those wishing to study only the materials without taking the CIS exam are not required to have a CRCST certification; those wishing to take the CIS exam must hold a CRCST certification prior to sitting for the exam).
