Technologists can certainly be trained to do the scoring properly but our pathologists score them and are fully involved in the evaluations, as well as reviewing challenge slides for submission. There are also sometimes interpretation questions that have to be done on-line that the pathologists have to do, for instance for Her2. You have to ask the question of who is doing the interpretation in "real life," the techs or the pathologist? The survey is supposed to be done the same way you do it in your lab in your daily work so take that as the starting point of the discussion.
I think it defeats the purpose if the pathologists are not involved since it is a test of the total quality system. Are they or aren't they part of the system?

Our paths want us to score then and they not be involved. Is this what everone else is doing?
