[Histonet] Grossing HT

[Tasha Fraser]

I was hoping to find out if anyone else has come across this problem.  I'm a HT and have been since 2006.  Our lab would now like us HT's to start grossing for the Pathologist.  As I've been doing my research I see that we are not qualified to do the grossing under the CLIA regulations.  Both HT's here at my hospital got our HT certification after online schooling through Harford Community College.  This schooling was for certification only not an AAS.  Has anyone else out there come across this or does anyone have any suggestions on the easiest way to get qualified to do the grossing.
