Kim-

Our cytoprep area is in with Histology so we are currently training new people coming into the department to do both.  We feel it will give us more flexibility with scheduling and just being able to help each other out.  I too would be interested in hearing what others are doing.

Hi all,
I'm curious!! How many of you histotechs are being trained or already know how to do cyto prep work? And how many of you histo supervisors are now supervising cytology labs in addition to the histology lab? 
?
Is cross training histotechs to be cyto prep techs (in addition to their histo job) becoming more popular?
?
I welcome any and all responses...
