[Histonet] RE: Does a Cytotechnologist Meet CAP Grossing Requirements?

[Mahoney,Janice A]

Wanda,
If they do not have a BS as well as their CT(ASCP) they need to have documentation of the required number of hours of biology and chemistry in addition to the training.  If so, you should be ok.

Subject: [Histonet] Does a Cytotechnologist Meet CAP Grossing Requirements?

Good Morning to All and Happy Friday!!!!!
In your opinion, does a graduate from a Cytotechnologist Program (ASCP) with additional documented training meet the new requirement for grossing as high complexity testing personnel under CLIA???  Our PA that works for our Pathologist group is a cytotech who did additional training in grossing.
Thanks,
Wanda
