Hello Histo-netters,
I am writing once again on the behalf of Keiser University's Associates in Histotechnology program. The education of future histotechs through this program consists of eight months of classroom / lab instruction followed by two months of a clinical rotatation (externship). Currently, we partner with many facilities in Central Florida to ensure our students receive the best possible experience and graduate as competent Histotechs. I am reaching out to offer this opportunity to partner with Keiser University as a possible externship site for anyone interested. In becoming an affiliate site. You would agree to accept a Histotechnology student that meets your approval, and host them through their externship. In return, you will gain full time assistance for eight weeks, at *no cost to you* (other than a little guidance, as needed). All in all, it is a win-win situation all around. Many facilities have found that the externship program is an excellent way to screen potential new employees. There is an opportunity to freshly mold the student and train him or her in a way that is specific to the facility, while gaining assistance for two months at no cost. Employment is never implied, though it is always an option, should the student be the perfect fit for your facility. All in all, the program is a great way to determine if an individual will work well with your staff before making any kind of commitment. If you are interested in having *Histotechnology students* volunteer in your facility, would like more information, or have any questions, please email me, and I will respond as quickly as possible. While most of the students prefer Florida sites, we do have students who request to complete externships throughout the nation.We have partnered with clinical sites in Georgia, Maryland, New York, Illinois and even the Bahamas! Currently, we have requests from students to complete their externships in the Los Angeles, CA area and Tampa, FL. My email is kjg...@gmail.com or kg...@keiseruniversity.edu. I look forward to hearing from you, Komal *Komal Gada, BS, HT/HTL(ASCP), QIHC* *Histotechnology Program Director* _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
