Ngaphansi kwe-Microscope
Ama-Cytotechnologists asebenza ebhodini lesibhedlela, noma ibhu yezohwebo, ehlaziya amaslayidi amangqamuzana omuntu ngaphansi kwe-microscope. Amaseli angase avele ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene ze-anatomy yomuntu, kufaka phakathi isikhumba, i-reprocttive tract, i-tract digestive, noma noma iyiphi indawo ebeka amangqamuzana.
Ama-cytotechnologists alungiselela ama-slide bese ewahlola ngaphansi kwe-microscope, efuna ukungajwayelekile njengamangqamuzana anomdlavuza, amangqamuzana angaphambi komdlavuza, noma amaseli esifo esithathelwanayo (amabhaktheriya, amagciwane, njll.) I-Cytotechnologists ivame ukubamba indima ebalulekile ekusizeni iziguli ukuba zilulame ekuguleni ukukhomba isifo ngenkathi kusesiteji esingelapheka.
Umshini we-cytotechnologist wabe esebika lokho akutholile kumhlengikazi (odokotela) obese ehlinzeka ukuxilongwa kokugcina ukubika kudokotela wezokwelashwa.
Ama-cell specimens atholakala ezizindeni ezihlukahlukene zomzimba, njengezindlela zokubeletha zesifazane, amaphaphu, njll, bese efakwa emalayidi besebenzisa amasu akhethekile. Ama-cytotechnologists ahlola amaslayidi amancane futhi ashintshe izinguquko zeselula ezibonisa isifo.
Ukusebenzisa lokho okufundwa yi-cytotechnologists, i-pathologists ingakwazi ukuxilonga nokuphatha izifo-ezimweni eziningi, isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuba itholakale ngenye indlela. Ngokwesibonelo, eminyakeni yamuva, izinaliti ezinhle zisetshenziselwa ukufisa izilonda, ngisho nalabo abahlezi kakhulu emzimbeni. Lokhu kuye kwathuthukisa kakhulu ikhono lokuthola nokuhlola izicubu ezisezindaweni ezingenakufinyeleleka.
Njengoba izindlela ezintsha zokuhlola nokwazisa zomdlavuza zithuthukiswa, ama-cytotechnologists azoqhubeka nokudlala indima ebalulekile ekuxilongweni nasekwelapha izifo.
Lapho ama-Cytotechnologists asebenza khona
Abaningi be-cytotechnologists basebenza ezibhedlela noma kuma laboratories ezentengiselwano. Ngokuhlangenwe nakho, nabo bangase basebenze embonini yangasese noma ekuqondeni, ezindaweni zokucwaninga nokufundisa. Ama-cytotechnologists angasebenza ngokuzimela (lapho ehlola futhi ebika ngamaseli ajwayelekile) noma ngokubambisana eduze ne-pathologist (lapho ehlola amangqamuzana ngezinkomba zesifo).
Ukuvuselelwa
Ngokusho kwe-American Medical Association (AMA), inkokhelo ejwayelekile yama-cytotechnologists cishe ngama-dollar angu-30 ngehora, elingana no-R60 000 000 ngonyaka ukuze kusetshenziswe isikhathi esigcwele (umsebenzi osebenza ngamahora angu-40).
Ukuqeqeshwa
I-cytotechnology yemfundo yezemfundo ingakapheli unyaka owodwa emva kokuqeqeshwa okudingekayo okuyiminyaka emibili ekolishi. Lokhu kungahluka kuye ngokuthi umthwalo wezinkambo, nohlelo, kodwa uhlele okungenani iminyaka emithathu ukuya eminyakeni emihlanu emva kokuphothula esikoleni esiphakeme. Abafakizicelo kumele babe ne-bachelor degree ukuze bafanele ukuhlolwa kwesitifiketi sikazwelonke ku-cytotechnology.
Ngo-Okthoba 2013, iKhomishana yokuVunyelwa kwamaHlelo wezeMpilo weZempilo (i-CAAHEP) ivume iMigomo nemiGomo yokuGunyazwa kweziNhlelo zezeMfundo ku-Cytotechnology, efaka iKharityhulam ku-Cytotechnology ye-Entry-Level Competencies (ELC) ehlongozwa yiCytotechnology Programs Review Ikomidi (i-CPRC). I-ELC entsha ibeka ikharikhulamu ngokuhamba ngezinyathelo zanamuhla ukuze kutholakale izindawo eziguqukayo zemithi yamangqamuzana kanye ne-digital pathology.
Lapho sekuqedile uhlelo lwe-cytotechnology olwamukelwa yi-CAAHEP, ngokubambisana neCPRC, abafundi bafanelekile ukuhlala ehlolwa ukuhlolwa kwesitifiketi sikazwelonke esihlinzekwa yi-American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification (ASCP-BOC).
Ukuphumelela kwalolu daba kubonisa ukutholakala kobuchwepheshe obukhona emkhakheni, kanti abantu ngabanye babhekwa njenge-CT (ASCP) -i-cytotechnologists eqinisekisiwe. Izitifiketi ezengeziwe-isazi se-cytotechnology (SCT) kanye ne-biology yemvelo (MB) -ngatholakala.
