  • Flag abnormal or suspicious specimens for further review by pathologists, providing detailed documentation of findings.
  • Collaboration with Pathologists and Medical Team :
  • Work closely with pathologists to discuss findings, abnormalities, and potential diagnoses.

  • Prepare specimens for further analysis or biopsy, and assist pathologists in making a final diagnosis.
  • Provide feedback and communicate effectively with physicians and clinical teams about cytological findings and patient care.
  • Documentation and Reporting :
  • Maintain accurate and complete records of cytological findings, including patient information, sample details, and any abnormalities identified.

  • Document all findings in laboratory information systems (LIS) or electronic medical records (EMR), ensuring timely and accurate reporting of results.
  • Generate reports summarizing findings, providing detailed notes and recommendations for further testing or follow-up.
  • Quality Control and Assurance :
  • Participate in laboratory quality control (QC) processes, including reviewing slides and ensuring correct labeling and sample handling.

  • Ensure that all specimens are accurately identified and processed according to safety and regulatory standards.
  • Conduct regular calibrations of laboratory equipment to maintain optimal performance.
  • Specimen Management and Safety :
  • Handle and store patient samples according to established laboratory protocols, ensuring specimen integrity.

  • Adhere to infection control, safety, and regulatory guidelines, ensuring safe handling of biological materials.
  • Ensure proper disposal of biological waste and hazardous materials in compliance with safety regulations.
  • Continuing Education and Professional Development :
  • Stay current with the latest techniques, tools, and technologies in cytology and diagnostic medicine.

  • Participate in continuing education programs, workshops, and conferences to enhance professional knowledge and certification.
  • Maintain licensure or certification as required by state or national regulatory bodies, such as the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) .
  • Training and Supervision :
  • Train and mentor junior cytotechnologists or laboratory technicians on sample preparation, staining, and screening techniques.
