         Most of my permanent positions have been as section head or in a
   supervisory  capacity.   I  have  set up 2 laboratories, both included
   Histology   and   Cytology   departments.   This  included  purchasing
   equipment, setting up CPT codes and revenue codes, writing manuals and
   keepi   I   have   phlebotomy   experience  and  limited  clinical  laboratory
   experience.
   Computer systems I have used include the following:

   Co-Path
   Cerner
   Meditech
   I   have  used  several  different  brands  of  automated  processors,
   coverslippers    Microm.  I have also use   stains  and  am  familiar  with  the  Ventanna  Nexus  autostainer for
   IHC.     very limited, but I am comfortable doing special stains with it.  I am
   also very comfortable doing everything manually.
   In addition to all routine Histology and Cytopreparatory procedures, I
   have stained and screened the trichromes for 0&P's, assisted with bone
   marrow   processed  Semen  analysis  specimens.  I have also contracted with an
   independent  transcriptionist  and coordinated her activities and kept
   those reports organized and delivered to all necessary departments and
   physicians.  <           Several  years  ago  I  tried  to  set up immunohistochemistry
   staining  in  2  different laboratories in Wyoming, but because of the
   small volume these labs had, it was decided to send these tes   reference  laboratory.  I was one of the first in Wyoming to use th   Microwave  oven  to  speed  up  Histologic  Special  Stains and Frozen
   Sections.
   I have beginning Immunofluorescence experience.
   I am a DOT drug collector (both urine and breathalyzer).
   I am computer literate.
   I  have  worked with the Wyoming State tumor registry and find it very
   interesting.
   I have assisted with Clinicians and Pathologists in researching topics
   for CME's and preparing the visual aids for those projects.
   My  strengths  are general histology, special stains, ribbon sections,
   Cryosta   many  years  of  cytoprepratory experience and a few years of cytology
   screening.
   I  find  great  satisfaction  in  teaching  the  skill  and  theory of
   Histology.
   My laboratories are efficiently run, both time and monetary wise.
