Hey Histo Netters,
For the CAP pro's; I have been wondering what duties can a
non-certified histo-aide preform in a CAP facility?
Other than accessioning.
Embedding? Cutting? Staining? Where is the CAP line on what is
technical and what is non-tecnical?
I am not fluent in CAP and would like to know what you all think.
Thanks,
Matt Lunetta
