I would like to add a little in defense of ASCP. Like NSH's JOH, the
journals can only select for publication from articles that they recieve.
The JOH is always criticized because they do not print enough papers slanted
toward the bench technician or technologist. That is because they recieve
very few articles that would be of real technical help to the bench tech.
The editor would love to receive technical notes about procedural
modifications, or anything that makes our lives easier on the job.
I am sure that it is the same with Lab Medicine - they do not recieve many
articles for our profession. Surely some of you out there in histoland have
something worth submitting a paper on for either journal
I would like to remind everyone that ASCP does have the tech sample and that
there is one specifically for histotechnology. They also offer
teleconferences in histotechnology. They do not offer regional workshops that
include histotechnology because there is too much competition with state and
regional histotechnology meetings, and it is not profitable. ASCP does not
want to compete with NSH, but rather to work with NSH.
