Background: Faced with changes in cytodiagnostics, cervical cancer screening programs, the introduction and application of new methods, the cytotechnological educational program requires the necessary changes and additions. Insufficient, uneven as well as inaccessible education of cytotechnologists in European countries was the basis for making these recommendations. Summary: The results of previous research and publications related to the currently available education of cytotechnologists in Europe, the needs and suggestions were given by the European Advisory Committee of Cytotechnology (EACC) and European Federation of Cytology Societies (EFCS) for optimal education of future generations of cytotechnologists were used in the preparation of these recommendations. The EACC and EFCS propose a 1-year education and training program divided into 3 modules: gynecological, nongynecological exfoliative, and fine-needle aspiration cytology. Training programs should be organized by an accredited university, preferably a combination of internal education in a cytology laboratory and theoretical education at the university. Cytopathologists and cytotechnologists with at least 5 years of work experience in cytodiagnostics should participate in education. Upon completion of the training program, the EACC and EFCS propose an official name: EFCS certified cytotechnologist. Key Messages: The EACC and EFCS believe that it is extremely important that these recommendations are recognized and implemented by institutions that provide education for cytotechnologists so that they can meet the growing requirements of the profession with their acquired knowledge and competencies.

欧洲细胞技术咨询委员会和欧洲细胞学协会对欧洲细胞技术专家的培训和教育的建议

背景：面对细胞诊断学的变化，宫颈癌筛查计划，新方法的引入和应用，细胞技术教育计划需要进行必要的更改和补充。提出这些建议的基础是欧洲国家细胞技术人员的教育不充分，不平衡以及无法获得。概括：欧洲细胞技术顾问委员会（EACC）和欧洲细胞学协会联合会（EFCS）提出了与欧洲细胞技术专家当前教育相关的先前研究和出版物的结果，并提出了需求和建议，以期对下一代细胞遗传学进行最佳教育。细胞技术人员用于准备这些建议。EACC和EFCS提出了一项为期1年的教育和培训计划，该计划分为3个模块：妇科，非妇科剥脱和细针穿刺细胞学检查。培训课程应由经认可的大学组织，最好是将细胞学实验室的内部教育与大学的理论教育相结合。具有至少5年细胞诊断工作经验的细胞病理学家和细胞技术专家应参加教育。培训计划完成后，EACC和EFCS会提议一个正式名称：EFCS认证的细胞技术专家。重要信息： EACC和EFCS认为，这些建议必须得到为细胞技术人员提供教育的机构认可和实施，以便他们能够利用所获得的知识和能力来满足该行业不断增长的要求。
