Another area I am wondering about is competency for the PA's.  Anyone have something they can share?

Subject: [Histonet] CAP Gen.55500

Good afternoon
We were wondering how other labs handle their training/competencies in response to the revised Competency Assessment question in the Gen Lab portion of the checklist. (GEN.55500)

1.       How do you do your training before you start your competency?

2.       How do you differentiate initial training from initial competency?

3.       Is semiannually after the date of hire?  Or after training?  Or not until after initial competency?  And how does that apply to skills that would only be utilized once or twice a year (such as a special stain that you do not perform on a routine basis but still offer)?

4.       How do you train without using actual patients?  Example...accessioning, embedding, processing, etc

5.       What template do you use to incorporate all six elements that are listed?

6.       What are you incorporating as your "test system"?

I really appreciate any insight or advice you can offer.  Thank you!
