If anyone wants to find out where the HT or HTL NAACLS-accredited programs 
are in the US, go to
www.naacls.org
on the left, click on "Find a Program"
Then you can click on Program Type and click on either HT or HTL.
If you want just one state, like Georgia, you can click on that. Or don't 
click on a state, and you get all the programs under HT or HTL.

HT in Georgia:
Darton State College
2400 Gillionville Rd
Albany, GA  31707
Ms. Nancy Beamon M.S., MT(ASCP)
(229) 317-6846

No HTL in Georgia.

I believe Darton College has a distance learning program. But I believe you 
need to be working in a histology lab (lab assistant or beginning tech) that 
is willing to let you have time to use the microtome and do stains, as you 
have to mail in completed slide sets to demonstrate proficiency in 
sectioning and staining, and someone has to supervise your work (to prove 
you are doing it, not someone else).

So contact Nancy Beamon to get more information. And then start calling all 
the labs in Atlanta, to see if anyone is willing to hire you, or take you on 
as a student/trainee. It's probably a long shot, but you can try.

If you are interested in histotechnology, it might help to join the Georgia 
Society for Histotechnology, and start networking with some of the officers. 
Here's the society's webpage:

Good luck!

Are there any histology programs or school in the Atlanta, GA area?  If not, 
what would be a good place to start (in Atlanta) for somebody who wants to 
become a histotech?
