[Histonet] requirements for certification

[Liz Chlipala]

You might be eligible to sit for the registry already either HT or HTL,
you just need to have the correct number of credits in biology and
chemistry to meet the requirements.  I would call ASCP to see if you
have the requirements, it seems to me that you have the experience
needed you just need to make sure you have the credits.  That's my
opinion.  All you need is one year on the job training with a BS or BA
to sit for the HTL.  I think I'm correct on this, but if I'm not we'll
know soon enough from the replys.

Subject: [Histonet] requirements for certification

Hello.

I'm thinking about getting my HTL certification.  I've been a bench
scientist in both academia and biotech for 21 years, which has included
pre-clinical animal research and subsequent histological applications.
I've set up an histology lab and have a lot of IHC but only basic
staining (mostly H&E), as well as loads of animal tissue processing and
some human tissues.  I have a liberal arts degree (an AB) with a biology
major and a chemistry minor.  We have both a DVM and a few MD's on site,
but for pre-clinical and clinical research consult.  I would appreciate
any insight on getting certified through an online program, how many
hours is required, and what kind of mentorship is necessary.

Thank you for your insights and time!
