[Histonet] CEUs: Histonet Digest, Vol 58, Issue 6

[NYSHistotech]

Hi Carolyn and All
I just wanted to make sure that everyone is aware that there is NO CEU requirement as part of licensing in New york state. The law (article 165 and the most recent amendment that was passed 6/08) does not contain any specific language regarding a requirement for continuing education.  However, ASCP requires CEU's to maintain certification.  Please check their website for more info. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate
Best Luis

Now that we are NYS licensed histotechnologists we are required to
obtain several (12?) CEU credits to maintain licensure.
Other than HQUIP, how are techs getting their CEU's without paying a
fee?
