Wow. That was kind of harsh, Tim. I came out of an HT program that required the same prereqs as most med tech programs, so I had that as well as education specific to the field of Histotechnology. My education was VERY structured. I am, however, finishing my BS in Biology so that I can get my HTL credential as well. Oddly enough, I have a good percentage of my BS completed due to the prereqs of my HT program. I realize that there are some programs out there that don't have as stringent requirements, but please don't lump all HT-credentialed professionals into the same group. Those who pass the credentialing exams have demonstrated a body of knowledge that deserves to be recognized and respected.
