[Histonet] Pathologist needed for NAACLS

[Jennifer MacDonald]

The National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences is 
looking for a Pathologist to sit on a committee.  The committee is the 
Review Committee for Accredited Programs (RCAP).  The committee meets 
twice a year, once in person and once via a lengthy teleconference (day). 
The face-to-face meeting is in Chicago or the surrounding area.  The 
teleconference meeting is held in February and the in- person meeting is 
in July.  This is a volunteer position, but NAACLS does cover all travel 
costs associated with the meeting.  They also feed you very well.


 The RCAP is comprised of 22 members. To ensure appropriate representation 
from the professions of clinical laboratory science, pathology and 
education, the composition of the CLSPRC includes: five CLS/MT educators; 
five CLT/MLT educators; two HT/HTL educators; one clinical pathologist; 
one anatomic pathologist; two pathologists’ assistant educators or 
practitioners; two cytogenetic technology educators or practitioners; two 
DMS educators; one four-year educator generalist; and, one two-year 
educator generalist. 


Ideally the candidate will have experience with the accrediting process 
and have some time to devote to reviewing documents related to program 
accreditation.  The document review usually takes place a month or two 
before each meeting.  There are also small sub-committees.  Initially the 
committee member will be paired with an experienced member of the 
committee.


If you are interested in this position or know a great pathologist that 
would be interested please contact me and I will send you more information 
regarding the position.  NAACLS would like to fill this position as soon 
as possible, so that the pathologist is familiar with the process before 
the July meeting.

Thank you,
Jennifer MacDonald
