[Histonet] Rate of microtome injuries in Histotechnology schools.

[Tom Wells]

Hi,
I am curious about the rate of microtome cuts that students receive in Histotechnology schools. We have a rather large program and take in approximately 60 (or more)  students a year. Our Histotechnology semester is around 20 weeks long. During that time our students cut approximately 300 - 400 blocks per student. We typically have approximately 10 minor cuts per semester. How does this compare to other schools? Please email or call me directly to discuss this further. Thank you very much. Tom
