[Histonet] Grossing Histotechnician?

[Amanda Dodson]

Hello! I was wondering if there are any Histotechnicians who are able to gross (Grossing Histotechnicians) who might be able to shed some light on what their job responsibilities entail? What types of specimens do Grossing Histotechs gross? Do they only gross simple cases (ex. GI biopsies) or some complex cases (ex. Gallbladder, appendix). Is there additional compensation for being a Grossing Histotech in comparison to just a Histotech? Or are Pathology Assistants (PAs) handling most of the gross?

Thank you!
