American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification (ASCP BOC) · ASCP BOC HT/HTL Examination Content Guideline, revised December 5, 2025; checked for the user-facing date 2026-10-13, Asia/Hong_Kong. The September 25, 2025 ASCP-hosted copy was also opened and has the same HT domain weights and scope. Neither PDF prints a separate effective date. Workbook label 'Certified Histotechnician (HT)' maps to the official Histotechnician, HT(ASCP), certification examination; the assigned slug is preserved. See notes for the limited verification of the announced November 2026 transition.
