[Histonet] BS in Histotechnology

[Marcum, Pamela A]

In most cases it means nothing and if you are in Histology and the administration considers Histology a non-professional laboratory personnel area the pay is lower.  Sorry I have fought this for 5.5 years here and the difference between an HT and HTL is the degree only not the registry.  If it is $0.10 an hour it is good.

So just out of curiosity is the pay on the same level as that of a Med Tech with a BS? 
Does the BA/BS have to be in Histotechnology or is the BA/BS followed by one of the on-line certificate programs?

Jennifer, we require a BA/BS degree for all Histotechnologist positions. However, in our 4 step categories Level 1 does not require certification, just the degree and the requirement that they get the certification within a year. Advancement to level 2 to 4 requires an HT or HTL certification (Level 1 = entry level bench tech, Level 2 is bench tech, level 3 is senior tech, level 4 is Lead tech). Supervisor requires and HTL.

Considering that we already require a BA/BS degree for all levels, the fact a person has a HT or HTL is not going to matter much for levels 1 thru 4, only for supervisor level.

In what areas would a facility hire an HTL over an HT?  Is there a need for more HTL programs?  4 Thank you, _______________________________________________
