[Histonet] job descriptions

[Caleri, Kathleen]

We are currently reviewing job descriptions...so, what tasks do you require of your histotechs?  Besides the basic embedding, cutting, and staining (routine and special IHC), instrument maintenance...what else are they expected to do-what do you consider to be appropriate tasks for entry level techs and for seasoned techs? Do they do any grossing-and to what extent? Do they assist with autopsies-to what extent? If anyone wants to share their descriptions, please email me directly at Kathleen.caleri at roswellpark.org<mailto:Kathleen.caleri at roswellpark.org>

I am mostly interested in what NYS labs are doing but would like to hear from everyone.  Thanks!
