Re: [Histonet] Supervising a histologist
As long as the CEO/MD are on sight at all times while she is doing her duties. They need to be on sight accessible for your assistant.She will also need a Designee statement signed by the CEO/MD and herself that states what she is responsible for. She is not allowed to GROSS. Other than that I believe that she can over see the lab while you are gone.

Re: [Histonet] Supervising a histologist
I don't think it sounds like a strange question at all, but the quick answer is yes, it is perfectly legal and acceptable for an OJT Lab Assistant to be temporarily assigned to supervise an HTL. As long as it does not break any local/state requirements for licensure, or in the case of a unionized lab, and even then, it might be permissible since it is only a temporary "assignment" of responsibility in the absence of the manager/supervisor. Usually such a temporary position has less to do with technical expertise than a chain of command for reporting incidents, or assigning coverage in the absence of employees. I was once made a interim director of all lab services over MTs and MLTs, though I have no clinical experience. My main skill was communication and prioritization of work which served the position well. In times of trouble, I depended on the MTs./MLTs and the pathologists to give guidance for technical expertise. I would think that the same principles would apply. Sincerely, Terri L.
