FW: [Histonet] Unregistered HT

 I do not control the hiring criteria my current employer. They screen by education and certification criteria, and the ability of people to meet CLIA personnel requirements,  and then look at the experience, "soft skills" etc. It may be different from the research environment?

Do employers consider lab techs to be proficient enough? I've been doing ISH and immuno for 13 years, but I'm not certified as I do research.  Maybe there aren't a lot of lab techs out there? Just wondering since you might be missing someone awesome by hiring only certified people.

All I have is a "histology assistant" description I put together. It is mostly clerical, instrument up keep and other duties. My employer does not hire uncertified techs- due to CLIA license, grossing, FISH & molecular duties ( high complexity). I hope to be a clinical site eventually, and then they will have to complete their certification within one year -if they are hired on.


If you think that will help, I can send it on.
