Re: [Histonet] HTL Certification
Make flashcards, all your esoteric fixatives with recipes, and all your special stains with reagents and what they stain for. Work them both sides till you can get 100% consistently. For example, so you can answer the questions "What is the oxidation step in a GMS?" as well as "Which of these stains uses silver nitrate?" There WILL be a question about which fixative to use or not use with uric acid/gout. There WILL be a question about fire extinguisher types. There you go, I just gave you two free ones. I wouldn't even worry about the photomicrographs. They're so lousy you end up just guessing anyway. You can miss all the photo questions and still pass. By the way, the convention when listing your credentials is to only list your terminal degree, unless you want to point out some certification in another field, like M.D., MBA, or MSN., J.D., or BSN, MPH. Yours would be B.S., HTL, (ASCP) CM. Jay A.

Re: [Histonet] HTL Certification
Hi Diana, We have had two students complete the program at University of North Dakota. Both passed their certification exam the first time. You can get more information from this link. https://med.und.edu/histotechnology/admission-requirements.html Best of luck finding a program that works for you!

RE: [Histonet] HTL certification
Hi C.A., I don't have the HT or HTL, but from my college teaching experience in histology and histotechniques, I just wanted to caution you that memorizing is not what you should be doing. You need to understand concepts, so that when you need to troubleshoot problems you will be able to think through things, rule some things out, and make sense of the situation. I see this all the time with my students, they forget things they memorize, but then they finally understand things and can figure things out. One of the new teaching tools is having students prepare "concept maps," to see the relationships of topics and terms, and these linkages will help you in the long run. For histology examples, see: http://www.biologycorner.com/anatomy/tissues/tissue_concept_map_samples.html I don't know of any concept maps for histotechnology on the web, but I am going to add this to my course next year!

I was just curious to know how you guys prepared for it, and how long it took for you to prepare before taking the test. Will 6 months preparation be enough? (I know that may depend on the individual; it's just that I had my Masters over 10 years ago and I haven't studied this much since then). I have Freida L. Carson's 3rd Edition book -- quite daunting to memorize -- but the outline ASCP has provided for study seems to be helpful. Do you have any other book/study aid suggestions? Thank you in advance for your input and advice!
