The Mohs technique is used primarily for skin cancer, and done using frozen
sections.  There is a society called the American Society for Mohs
Histotechnology.  No certification at this time specifically for Mohs,
although it is always being talked about.

It is particular technique that was invented by a man named Frederick Mohs.
The technique is that a surgeon is technically the pathologist reading
his/her own slides while the patient waits, whereas normally a pathologist
would read the slide.  And the other unique thing about this particular
surgery is that you cut the tissue tangential and not breadloafed.
