[Histonet] HT exam

[Lee & Peggy Wenk]

In the past, there were 3 routes (in short version):
- minimum associate degree (or 60 credit hours) with 12 credit hours of 
biology and chemistry combined with 1 year on-the-job-training (OJT)
- high school diploma plus 2 years OJT
- completion of a NAACLS accredited histotechnology program

As of January 2, 2005, the high school route was eliminated (so 2004 was the 
last year allowed for those with less than the associate degree/60 credit 
hours to take the high school route). The other 2 routes remain.

FYI - ASCP, NSH and state histology societies started announcing/publishing 
this information non-stop for 5 years previous to the Jan 2005 date, that 
the high school route would be eliminated, leaving only the minimum 
associate degree and the NAACLS program routes. So this information was out 
there, that the HS route would be eliminated, starting in early 2000.
