[Histonet] Histology School

[Jason Rogers]

I'm currently enrolled in a Histotechnician program at Pima Community
Collage in Tucson, AZ. What sort of feedback are you looking for? I have had
a wonderful experience in the program and seem to be getting a lot more of
the academic background on tissue and stains that some of the experienced HT
lack.

Currently the program I am enrolled in requires about two years to complete
and is an associate degree program. I've had about a year of gross anatomy
and microanatomy; as well as more basic biology classes. Right now I am
working my way through the first of two co-ops that we are required to
complete. I hope this has helped, if you need more specific details please
don't hesitate to email me.
