[Histonet] HT schools

[Patsy Ruegg]

Remember that now there is no practical portion of the HT exam, so they are
not being tested on hands on experiences anyway.  The most difficult problem
I have with training people on the job (and I have trained many) is that now
they are not prepared to take the exam because they are examined all on
theory.  I have some really well trained people who can do the work really
well, but they have a hard time taking the computer test which they pretty
much have to memorize out of books.

Someone has to teach them the "hands on" part of histology. I do not leave
this to my staff. I teach / give them the skills they need to perform the
practical part of their profession. As their supervisor I am very much
involved in their training. I am sure I am not the only one.??

Wrong! The advantage of the "on line" or "distance learning" courses is that
they provide the theory on line while you are working at a given laboratory
doing your training (or even as part of your daily work) so there is no
"actual training" to be done by the supervisor.
At this moment NAACLS has 30 HT and 3 HTL accredited programs only, with an
overall capacity of about 300-325 students, and this will not be enough to
take care of  all the retiring histotechs.
Costs is one of the reasons why the number of HTs schools is dwindling.

Where are all the HT accredited schools and why aren't there more out
there?  I've seen the online classes' people can take, but that
requires
them to be trained in a lab, as well, for the "hands on" part.  So,
actually the supervisor still has to train potential HT's "on the
job"
before they can sit for the board exam.  Right?
