[Histonet] Re: online histotechnology programs?

[Godfrey Guerzon]

Malcolm,

There is a web course in Histotechnology at Harford Community College
in Maryland.  You may want to check it out.  The Director of the program
is Mr. Floyd Grimm but I believe he is retiring.  His phone number is
(410) 836-4372.  His e-mail address fgrimm <@t> harford.edu.  You may also
check the college website.

This program provides the theoretical aspects on the web.  The student,
if working in a Histology laboratory can be on a certificate program, if
not working in a Histology Lab it will be an associate degree.  The
college will work with an accrdited Histology laboratory in the area
where the student reside for clinical (practical) rotation.  The college
also provide the student with a student guide of what needs to be
covered on the clinical rotation that has to be signed off as completed
by the Histology Manager (or designee).  I have Histotechs in my Lab
several students from Harford Community College that are doing very well
and are already certified HT(ASCP).  Our Lab is one of the Hospital in
Maryland that provides clinical rotation for these students.

Hello Histonetters,

Is there a histology course I can take anywhere in the Boston area? I
did not take any formal training/education in Histology but have been
doing the same for almost 2 years now. It would be great if I could
get
some formal knowledge in Histology to help me understand the basic
problems I face sometimes during my routine work.

Thanks a lot for any help with this.

Shanu
