[Walter Benton]

I would review the CLIA guidelines, which dictate minimum qualifications to perform certain tasks.

Subject: [Histonet] MOHS Tech

Hi,

We are looking for MOHS tech and have an applicant that is not a
certified histotech.  Our MOHS techs are expected to gross tissues,
which requires a certified tech for high complexity testing... according
to CAP regulations.

I was wondering what other MOHS techs are doing that are not certified
technicians.  I would really like to give this person a chance, but am
afraid that I won't be able to because of the CAP standards.

Do anyone have any references, resources, or information that could help
me in this matter?

Thank you,

Karen
