[Histonet] RE: Histonet Digest, Vol 60, Issue 5

Thanks for the many replies however my objective hasn't been addressed.
For the supervisors; My point is not to mislead and claim ASCP certification
without having it. My question is to assist in rationalizing cost.
Disregarding a credible applicant who doesn't see the financial investment
towards ASCP shouldn't be interpreted as not being serious about a field.
That ideology promotes "pay to play." It's a direct question towards ASCP
membership feedback and prejudice (pre-2004 certification).
As far as seriousness of the field, revert to my original objective
of understanding what my dues fund, what do I as a tech directly receive in
return, and why are older tech's exempt?
The truth is many techs employed in clinical labs who do not have
certification receive comparable salaries to those histotechs who study
hard, pass the HT exam, and pay ASCP dues. Where is the justification in
that? How does JACHO feel about that?
I pose a credible question of fairness and return investment. Cash is king
now and where I spend it is ever important.
I too have had a hard time trying to rationalize paying so much for dues. The annual fee that you are referring to is $89 or $94 depending on if you want to donate $5.00 to the ASCP Scholarship fund. I understand that this annual fee funds the ASCP magazine that is distributed a few times a year, provides funds for the ASCP advocacy group and to provide CE's for us. With your membership fee you get six "free" CE's per year. These CE's cost about $15 each. If you didn't get the membership these six CE's you would pay for out of your pocket anyway. This makes up for about $90 of your $94 fee.
As far as having to pay a fee to stay certified, I think it is two separate things. The $94 annual fee is not connected to certification. This fee is your membership fee which is not required. There is a separate fee that you submit with your 36 CE's for the first three years that you are an ASCP member. If you have already been an ASCP member for three consecutive years then you submit the CMP voucher which waives the fee for certification.
Another benefit of being an ASCP member is that you can get discounts on many workshops, education materials, and have your name added to the membership directory that is available to those who purchase it. Your name is out there for prospective employers to consider.
Your point is well taken about fairness. It is advantageous to techs like us to maintain our certification, as many employers are not even considering candidates who are not certified. In the environment that I work in, we are required to maintain certification to stay employed. Eventually the "old farts" will be retiring and we will have assurance that our field has qualified histologists that have proven their value by participating in the CMP. As you know ASCP does not make it easy to get or stay certified these days. The fact that you are says a lot. I hope this helps.

Can someone assist me in rationalize the annual cost of maintining HT
certification (roughly $100 annually) and its benefit? Point accumulation is
generally low for classes you must pay for, and those who obtained
certification prior to 2004 are exempt. Should one not pay the annual fee,
certification is dropped Is this correct?). In that case, can one advertise
"HT" certification for future employment opportunities then, offer full
explanation (and expired certification) during interview and that be
sufficient?
What I generally receive from ASCP is an annual bill and a random newsletter
from time to time. Furthermore, when a bill isn't paid on time,
the termingology in the subsequent bills become similar to that of a
collection agency. Frankly, I find this mailing submission as well as state
and national meetings more informative.
Someone please clarify something I might be missing and any benefits of the
"pay out."

Hi Richard,As Gundrun lined out, a sequential method with a heating step in between to remove antibodies from the first staining sequence without affecting the DAB precipitate, is a very safe way to combine two antibodies from the same species. However, with this brown-red color combination one is unable to see sites of co-localization by mixed-color. Recently I published a method in JOH (September 2008) based on two alk phosp methods (Vector Blue and Dako's Liquid Permanent Red) that gives superior results in term of contrast between the basic colors and the purple mixed-color at sites of co-localization. The reaction product of Vector Blue as well as Liquid Permanent Red both survives the heat step without any changes. Cheers,Chris van der Loos, Amsterdam, Netherlands

We were asked to do immunostains on slides where a particular cell line was growing. Can anyone tell me the best way to fix these slides before performing immunostains? We used to use acetone on cytospins but can't recall if there is a better way.

If you were certified in 2004 or after you need to turn in 36 credit hours of continuing education in order to maintain your certification. You do not need to be a member of ASCP to be certified, however you do get some free CE hours with your membership. My certification was in 85, so yes, I am one of the old farts that is exempt. However, I have stayed current with my education. even in the years that I did not practice Histology.
As a supervisor, I would not look at a resume that had an expired certification. Right or wrong I would assume that, the applicant did not take this field seriously enough by letting their certification lapse.

I believe that when we've had to do this in the past, we've done EIER

While Barack Obama is ready to "spread the wealth around," John McCain has a plan to get our economy moving so everyone has access to good jobs, a quality education and the opportunity to succeed.
?
The next President won't have time to get used to the office. America faces many challenges here at home, and many enemies abroad in this dangerous world. We cannot spend the next four years as we have spent much of the last eight: hoping for our luck to change at home and abroad. We need a new direction, and John McCain and Sarah Palin will fight for it.
?
Time and time again this team of mavericks has stood up, taken on tough issues and delivered. They're the real deal. They have a clear record that can deliver results, not just rhetoric that delivers votes.
?
PLEASE GIVE CAREFUL THOUGHT WHO YOU WILL VOTE FOR ON TUESDAY...PLEASE THINK ABOUT WHERE THESE TWO MEN COME FROM AND WHERE THEIR HEARTS TRULY ARE.? THIS IS A CRUTIAL ELECTION AND WE AS AMERICANS MUST BE CONFIDENT THAT OUR BEST DAYS ARE AHEAD OF US WITH JOHN LEADING THE WAY!!!

I want to make you aware that JCAHO requires accredited facilities to undertake "primary source verification" for anyone claiming to have professional credentials. If I wanted to hire an applicant claiming to have histology certification it is my responsibility as manager to verify with ASCP that the individual does in fact have the certification. If you allowed your certification to lapse, it would become apparent when I contacted them about you and it would end any hope you had of obtaining a position with us.
Only you can decide if the costs to maintain your certification are worth it but I thought you should be aware of the process that is followed to verify credentials. I agree with Tom that indicating that you allowed your certification to lapse would reflect negatively and likely sabotage hopes of employment, at least in some environments

If you were certified in 2004 or after you need to turn in 36 credit hours of continuing education in order to maintain your certification. You do not need to be a member of ASCP to be certified, however you do get some free CE hours with your membership. My certification was in 85, so yes, I am one of the old farts that is exempt. However, I have stayed current with my education. even in the years that I did not practice Histology.
As a supervisor, I would not look at a resume that had an expired certification. Right or wrong I would assume that, the applicant did not take this field seriously enough by letting their certification lapse.

Can someone assist me in rationalize the annual cost of maintining HT
certification (roughly $100 annually) and its benefit? Point accumulation is
generally low for classes you must pay for, and those who obtained
certification prior to 2004 are exempt. Should one not pay the annual fee,
certification is dropped Is this correct?). In that case, can one advertise
"HT" certification for future employment opportunities then, offer full
explanation (and expired certification) during interview and that be
sufficient?
What I generally receive from ASCP is an annual bill and a random newsletter
from time to time. Furthermore, when a bill isn't paid on time,
the termingology in the subsequent bills become similar to that of a
collection agency. Frankly, I find this mailing submission as well as state
and national meetings more informative.
Someone please clarify something I might be missing and any benefits of the
"pay out."

Thanks for the many replies however my objective hasn't been addressed.
For the supervisors; My point is not to mislead and claim ASCP certification
without having it. My question is to assist in rationalizing cost.
Disregarding a credible applicant who doesn't see the financial investment
towards ASCP shouldn't be interpreted as not being serious about a field.
That ideology promotes "pay to play." It's a direct question towards ASCP
membership feedback and prejudice (pre-2004 certification).
As far as seriousness of the field, revert to my original objective
of understanding what my dues fund, what do I as a tech directly receive in
return, and why are older tech's exempt?
The truth is many techs employed in clinical labs who do not have
certification receive comparable salaries to those histotechs who study
hard, pass the HT exam, and pay ASCP dues. Where is the justification in
that? How does JACHO feel about that?
I pose a credible question of fairness and return investment. Cash is king
now and where I spend it is ever important.

Hi,
I processed some mouse hearts that were in Z-Fix for 24 hrs. then put in
70% for anywhere from 24-48hrs. They were processed on a short run. The
epicardium looks good but the mid myocardium is wavy.
15 min 80%
15 min 95 x 2
15 min 100% x 2
15 min Xylenes x2
10 min paraffin x 4
Any suggestions?

If you were certified before 2004, it doesn't matter if you pay your
dues or not. You are still certified.

Really? I never pay to maintain HT certification. As far as I know
theres a ASCP membership fee, but you dont have to be a member to be
certified. Am I wrong here?

Can someone assist me in rationalize the annual cost of maintining HT
certification (roughly $100 annually) and its benefit? Point
accumulation is
generally low for classes you must pay for, and those who obtained
certification prior to 2004 are exempt. Should one not pay the annual
fee,
certification is dropped Is this correct?). In that case, can one
advertise
"HT" certification for future employment opportunities then, offer full
explanation (and expired certification) during interview and that be
sufficient?
What I generally receive from ASCP is an annual bill and a random
newsletter
from time to time. Furthermore, when a bill isn't paid on time,
the termingology in the subsequent bills become similar to that of a
collection agency. Frankly, I find this mailing submission as well as
state
and national meetings more informative.
Someone please clarify something I might be missing and any benefits of
the
"pay out."
