Cytology preparation was added to the HT (ASCP) exam back in 2001 based on feedback on the number of laboratories that have histotechnicians doing cytology preparation. It was also added as a new chapter in the Carson/Hladik Histotechnology text book.

How many of you histotechs are being trained or already know how to do cyto prep work? And how many of you histo supervisors are now supervising cytology labs in addition to the histology lab? Is cross training histotechs to be cyto prep techs (in addition to their histo job) becoming more popular? I welcome any and all responses... ~Kim Tournear ~ HT (ASCP), QIHC (ASCP) Histology Supervisor Tucson Medical Center Tucson, AZ ~Don't let your life end before it begins~ OU Rocks!!!! _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
