DME "Clinical Specialist" Qualifications?

Post by apnea13 » Tue Sep 11, 2007 6:14 pm

The prevailing view expressed by participants of this forum is that the representatives of the Durable Medical Equipment providers with whom they've come in contact left them wanting. Such is certainly my experience which even included a bit of fraudulent rather than merely mistaken misrepresentation.

So, my not so polite inquiry is: Other than perhaps being a high school dropout, what constitutes the array of qualifications required to be in the intellectual arsenal of DME job applicants?

Must be able to lie with a straight face.
