Here at the UW Hospitals in Madison we have trained numerous people "off the street" , ok, ok, they at least have a biology degree and a brain in their heads. but no other histology experience. Our current tech is as good as an HT at cuttinggood quality sections at a fast pace. He lets us handle all the troubleshooting, but other than that he is a very valuable member of the team. I wouldn't recommend totally staffing your lab with non-HT's though.

Do you have to be a histotech to work in a Moh's surgery center doing frozen sections?
If not, what are the qualifications for the technical position?  Thanks.
