Re: [Histonet] Credentials
There is no CAP requirement that a person has to be certified or qualified in any way to perform Histology or Histology Assistant duties. As long as you can document their proven competency, they are good to perform any procedure. The only exception in the Histology lab, is if that tech is required to perform gross. Then they must be documented to be able to perform CLIAA high complexity testing. Terri L.

Re: [Histonet] Credentials
Yes, BUT, in states where a certification/license is required to work in Histology (such as Florida) state requirements supersede CAP's and the inspectors have to oblige.René On Friday, February 12, 2016 3:19 PM, Terri Braud via Histonetwrote: There is no CAP requirement that a person has to be certified or qualified in any way to perform Histology or Histology Assistant duties.

Re: [Histonet] Credentials for performing IHC staining
Regardless of the instrument, or if IHC is done manually, it is considered a high complexity test and the person doing it should be an accredited or licensed, specially trained, histotechnologist or med tech specialized in IHC which is a new ASCP accreditation level.
