[Histonet] Grossing small biopsies

[Lester Raff MD]

All our specimens are biopsies. Our minimum requirement for grossing biopsies is a BA in a science field and then our on-site training. We have two dedicated lab assistants trained in this manner. We use one of our histotechs who was trained in grossing elsewhere as a 3rd option, but it is not in the general histotech job description.

I am wondering how many techs gross small biopsies? If you do is this part of your role as a histology tech or do you have a different job description?

Cordially,
