    What is Histotechnology?

    Histotechnology is a structural science that is concerned with evaluation of tissues, their cellular morphology and their chemical composition. Histotechnologists work under the supervision of a pathologist preparing tissue specimens of human, animal or plant origin for diagnostic, research and teaching purposes. The profession of Histotechnology is dynamic—constantly developing new technologies and methodologies.

    Is this Career Right for you?

    Students who excel in this field of study have a passion for science and enjoy being part of a medical or research team. While histotechnologists help diagnosis disease, they are not patient-facing - preferring interaction with the laboratory team and highly specialized equipment.
