Histologic Technicians work under the supervision
of a pathologist to prepare tissue specimens for diagnosis. They
perform gross tissue preparation and laboratory procedures to
show microscopic structure. Histologic Technicians solve
problems, demonstrate ethics and patient confidentiality, and
use chemical safety and universal precautions. Histologic
Technicians work together with laboratory personnel to provide
doctors with information for making a diagnosis. To work in most
laboratory facilities, Histologic Technicians must be certified
by the American society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP), 2100 W.
Harrison Street, Chicago, Illinois, 60612-3798. This curriculum
is intended for students who have been admitted to the joint
LCC/Ingham Intermediate Histologic Technician Certificate
Program. Students receive a certificate upon completion and are
eligible to take the HT Board of Registry Exam. The certificate
program leads into the Associate in Applied Science Degree in
Histologic Technology which students are strongly encouraged to
complete for more employment options. Curriculum is approved by
the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Services
(NAACLS), 410 W. Bryn Mawr Avenue, Suite 670, Chicago, Illinois,
60675-5634. |
