Question 1: Why do health care organizations NOT hire unlicensed Physicians? Answer: Because of the maelstrom of malpractice suits, civil and criminal laws they would be breaking, ruined careers, prison, orphaned children etc.
Question 2: Why do supervisors/lab managers hire "unregistered" (see previous posts) histotechs? Answer: Because they can pay them $12/hr instead of $30/hr. Many of them receive hefty bonuses for controlling costs. They get away with it. The most brilliant Pathologist in the world could NEVER EVEN SEE a malignancy that was rough cut away by an unqualified histotech. Jay A.
