Lester, I do believe this is the second 'non lab related' blog post this
week. As we have spoken about before I do not think histonet is an
appropriate place for your blog posts. I, personally, was totally OK with
you co-posting with other lab related topics. However you are now pushing
it and I re
Just some philosophy towards the end of a long day.

Hi Everyone,
I am new to the net and this is my first post. I am a fairly new lab tech
who will soon start working in the histology department of our hospital and
I was wondering if you veterans can give me some heads up. I will be
working mainly with frozen tissues.

Hi Melissa- when Tim Morken taught me to be an EM tech many moons ago we would
take a small dissecting microscope to the CT room. We would have the
radiologist place the first core on a sterile tongue depressor and then we
would check it in some saline on a dental wax square under the scope.
We provide on-site assessment of the renal tissue obtained in Ultrasound, both
at our main hospital and at our Children's hospital across the street. I
handle probably 95% of the biopsies; I have two pathology colleagues (MDs) that
handle the other 5% when I am not here. Occasionally, a reside
We have our histology technicians attend all native and transplant renal biopsy
procedures. Our institution has stereo scopes (dissecting scope) located in
ultrasound, transplant clinic and an additional one on a mobile cart for cases
that might occur in Pediatric sedation, ICU, or bedside biop
Melissa, our PA's look at them when received in the grossing lab, and if they
aren't sure they bring them down the hall to the EM lab and we confirm. Our
clinicians seem to be pretty good at getting a good bx without examining them
in radiology so this works for us.

I've had trouble understanding that as well.
Can an employee have 24 semester hours of biology and chemistry combined
with an associate's degree in science, and it be sufficient for CLIA?
Does the person have to have an associates in laboratory science?

I have a question about how other institutions handle microscopic evaluation of
glomeruli adequacy in renal specimens? Specifically, who at you looks at the
cores to determine if glomeruli are present before submitting specimens for
further testing? Do the pathologists look at them? Radiologis
Essentially, an associates degree totals 60-80 semester hours depending on the
program. As long as 24 of those hours are in science or medical laboratory
technology, they would qualify. I think the confusion in "c." comes in when a
student starts towards a bachelors degree, but then stops the
James,
We base all of our high complexity testing on the semester hours as listed in
"c." If an individual has completed an associate degree in a laboratory
science, they should meet the educational requirements as stated previously. I
would recommend obtaining a transcript from the applicants
a. We are experiencing trouble finding another tech that will meet CLIA
high complexity testing standards as well as has histotechnician training.
Also the qualifications for who can gross is a little vague so I wanted to see
if anyone has any information that would help me. A summary
