Will “Charge Histotechnologist” be Replaced By Robots? 🤔

Unknown Chance of Automation

Sadly, the research paper did not provide any information about this occupation. Maybe have a look at our directory?

Prepare histologic slides from tissue sections for microscopic examination and diagnosis by pathologists. May assist in research studies.
