[Histonet] ASCP

[Lee & Peggy Wenk]

ASCP has changed it's name. It is now the American Society for Clinical Pathology. The goal of changing it from "of . . . Pathologists" to "of . . . Pathology" was to reflect that this organization is made up of many different people from pathology - pathologists, residents, and all laboratory technical staff. This organization does the certification exams for many of the laboratory professionals (histotechs, med techs, cytotech, phlebotomists, etc.).

In addition, each group has their own organization that is more specific to their field, such as the National Society for Histotechnology (NSH) is specifically for histotechs working in the field of histotechnology.

ASCP and NSH often work together on projects, and histotechs often belong to both groups.
