Approach

SUNY Cobleskill is partnering with Memorial Sloan Kettering and Rockland Community College to establish NYC-and Rockland County-based histotechnician training programs. Histotechnicians prepare human and animal tissue samples for microscopic pathological examination. They play a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases by turning tissue samples into microscope slides. See this video to learn more about the program and see a histotechnician in action. This initiative is replicating a successful job training program at SUNY Cobleskill to two satellite locations, offering a one-year training program that will address a nationwide shortage of certified histotechnicians.
