About The Position

The Histology Technician works in an indoor laboratory environment with frequent exposure to mild physical discomfort from dust, fumes, temperature, and noise. The role involves potential exposure to blood, body fluids, tissues, and other potentially infectious materials, electrical and radiant energy hazards, and odorous chemicals and specimens. The posting lists histotechnology experience as required, an associate degree in clinical laboratory technology or a related field, and a New York State license as a Certified Clinical Laboratory Technician. A bachelor's degree in medical technology or a related science and ASCP certification are preferred.

The posting also includes position accountabilities related to managed-care contracting, physician enrollment, payor compliance and payment issues, liaison work, meeting coordination, tracking logs, and a physician organization phone line. These accountabilities appear inconsistent with the Histology Technician title, so they are reported as written without assuming a different role.
