[Histonet] Foreign Trained Tech

Fri Feb 12 14:40:32 CST 2016

Tim is absolutely right.  I am a Canadian trained tech and before I could work in the US I had my credentials evaluated by WES (you can google them to get contact info) to see which ASCP exam I qualified for.

My lab is looking to hire a tech who has been trained in another country.
Management wants to know if their credentials qualify them to work in a CAP accredited lab without direct supervision  or if they will need to sit for the ASCP board exam. If they need to sit for the exam do her credentials qualify her to take the exam now? Her credentials are listed below

Ministry of Public Health & Social Care Diploma

Graduated the full course of education at Institute of Health Care Employees with Secondary Professional Education Bulgarian Medical Academy.

Qualification of Clinical Laboratory Assistant

Transcript includes:
Laboratory Equipment and Laboratory Appliances Clinical Laboratory Histology with General Pathology & Histological Technique Biochemistry

120 hours of Histological Laboratory

Charles, Foreign course work is useless for CLIA until it is vetted by a transcript service that can evaluate the validity of the school and how that course work matches with the required typical US courses. ASCP requires such vetting for foreign applications for ASCP certification (I've been involved with a few people taking that route). It can take weeks to months to get such verification depending on the bureaucracy involved in the foreign country. And the applicant has to pay for it.

Experience counts, but you don't know what the quality of that is either until you see her in action.

If this person is already in the US and local to you, and you still want to pursue it,  I suggest hiring her as a lab assistant with the idea you would evaluate her skills on site, if you are willing to do that.

Hello all!

Our lab is in need for STACKABLE METAL SLIDE CABINETS. I would like to know which vendors supply this product and if you can send me a quote? Or if your lab is content with the slide cabinets you use, if you can give me your vendors information?

Thank you,
