[Histonet] Uncertified Histotechs

[joelle weaver]

It still seems to vary by market ( many factors including licensure in some states), and by organization based on my observations. But I believe that there is certainly a trend toward certification. At my organization they require certification for any consideration, and also education to meet CLIA.   But you are likely to get many different opinions on your question.

> Is getting a job as an uncertified histotech a thing of the past? I have a friend who has been a very skilled histotech for many years and they have been looking for a job for about a year now. Is this due to bad interviewing or a lack of certification? I'm curious to see if this has happened to other people. They have applied at hospitals and bigger labs such as Caris. Im not asking for a job lead for them I'm just more curious if certification has become a prerequisite now.
