A series of modules of unknown ThinPrep Pap test cases is used to assess the ThinPrep screening
and interpretive skills of each participant. Participants are required to screen and diagnose each set
of cases and record their results on the provided answer sheet. Once complete, the cases and correct
responses are reviewed individually by each participant.
A final set of unknown ThinPrep Pap test slides is provided. This final set of slides is modeled after
current CLIA guidelines and will be scored by Hologic-designated personnel. Successful completion
of these slides is necessary to receive a certificate of completion.
CLIA Proficiency Test Program standards are used as guidelines in establishing pass/fail scoring
criteria. Individuals receiving a 90% or better on the Final Assessment are qualified to screen/
interpret ThinPrep Pap test cases, and to begin training additional cytotechnologists and pathologists
in their laboratory under the supervision of the laboratory Technical Supervisor, if needed.
Participants of the training program receiving less than 90% on the Final Assessment would require
remedial training in their individual laboratories. This training involves the screening/diagnosing of
an additional ThinPrep Pap test slide module provided by Hologic and requires a score of 90% or
better to complete Hologic’s ThinPrep Pap Test Training Program.
Cytology Staff Training
Hologic supports cytology staff training by providing information and resources, such as slides,
answer sheets, and online educational material, for use by the lab in training additional staff. The
laboratory Technical Supervisor is ultimately responsible for ensuring adequate training for
individuals prior to screening and interpreting ThinPrep Pap test cases.
