Histotechnology Professionals Day

Histotechnology Professionals Day: March 10, 2025

On March 10th, 2010, the National Society of Histotechnology (NSH) announced the inaugural celebration of Histotechnology Professionals Day (HPD)—a day dedicated to raising awareness about the field of Histotechnology.  Although much has changed since 2010, the dedication of the scientists in the profession has remained the same, and each year, NSH create a variety of ways you can promote and participate in HPD.

Histotechnology Professionals Day aims to honor the important contributions scientists make to the healthcare field and increase awareness about the field as a whole, to encourage growth in this dynamic profession. This Histotechnology Professionals Day, join NSH in celebrating histology by taking the time to acknowledge the histologists in your organization, workplace, or community!
