Approach

SUNY Cobleskill is partnering with Memorial Sloan Kettering, New York University (NYU), Einstein Medical, Montefiore Medical Centers 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. 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.
