Re: [Histonet] ASCP
ASCP has changed it's name. It is now the American
Society for Clinical Pathology. The goal of changing it from "of . . .
Pathologists" to "of . . . Pathology" was to reflect that this organization is
made up of many different people from pathology - pathologists, residents, and
all laboratory technical staff. This organization does the certification exams
for many of the laboratory professionals (histotechs, med techs,
cytotech, phlebotomists, etc.).
In addition, each group has their own organization
that is more specific to their field, such as the National Society for
Histotechnology (NSH) is specifically for histotechs working in the field of
histotechnology.
ASCP and NSH often work together on projects, and
histotechs often belong to both groups.
