What (asmh) American Society For Mohs Histotechnology does

The American Society for Mohs Histotechnology (ASMH) is a U.S. nonprofit professional membership organization serving 450+ skilled histotechnicians who process tissue slides used during Mohs micrographic surgery for skin cancer treatment. Founded in 1995 as an ancillary group to the American College of Mohs Surgery (ACMS), ASMH is the only professional society dedicated specifically to this technician role, with ACMS employment or membership as a prerequisite for joining. The organization is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and operates with a lean staff of three (an Executive Director, Meetings Manager, and Membership and Communications Manager), governed by an elected board that includes an ACMS representative.

ASMH's core products are professional development services rather than technology platforms: an annual meeting held concurrently with the ACMS Annual Meeting (the 32nd edition is scheduled for May 1-2, 2026 in Austin, TX), the ACMS-approved Mohs Technician Training Program (delivered via on-site individualized training and advanced classroom sessions at partner facilities including Avantik Academy in Pine Brook, NJ and Mercedes Scientific in Lakewood Ranch, FL), a live and recorded webinar series approved for continuing education credits through the National Society for Histotechnology (NSH), the Mohs Surgery Career Center job board, a curated Online Bibliography, and quarterly member newsletters. Content spans CLIA/CAP regulatory compliance, tissue processing techniques, immunohistochemistry, and laboratory operations.

The business model is community-led with four revenue streams: recurring annual membership dues, annual meeting registration with member/non-member tiering (2026 pricing from $350 to $625), one-time fees for webinar recordings ($25 per recording for non-members), and professional-services fees for training programs. Distribution is primarily domestic through the mohstech.org website, the career center portal, partner training facilities, and ACMS co-marketing channels. The society also distributes an annual $1,000 scholarship fund for meeting attendance and recognizes member contributions through an annual Distinguished Service Award.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• American Society for Cytopathology (ASC): Specialty pathology society for cytopathology professionals. Comparable as a niche pathology-laboratory professional society running annual meetings, webinars, and CEUs for a small specialty workforce — analogous structure to ASMH but focused on cytology rather than Mohs histology.
• American Association of Bioanalysts (AAB): Professional association for clinical laboratory scientists and technicians offering board certification and continuing education. Comparable as a credentialing/education society for the same laboratory-technician workforce that ASMH serves, with overlapping CE and certification functions.

Broad incumbents

• American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS): National society for dermatologic surgeons, including Mohs surgeons. Comparable as a dermatologic procedure society with overlapping membership and overlapping educational content, but broader in scope across cosmetic and surgical dermatology beyond Mohs.
• American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP): Larger, established pathology professional society that administers the HT/HTL board certification increasingly required of Mohs technicians. Comparable as a credentialing and CE authority in the same lab workforce that ASMH serves, with much broader scope across all clinical pathology.
• American Academy of Dermatology (AAD): Largest US dermatology professional association, serving dermatologists and increasingly their allied health staff. Comparable because AAD is the parent professional home of the dermatologists whose practices employ ASMH's Mohs technician members.
• College of American Pathologists (CAP): National pathology accrediting body whose Mohs laboratory accreditation standards are a central training topic for ASMH members. Comparable as the broader pathology governance and education authority whose CLIA/CAP framework ASMH content is built upon.

Direct peers

• American College of Mohs Surgery (ACMS): The parent/anchor organization for ASMH, with shared annual meeting, ACMS-approved training program, and required-tied membership. Comparable as the surgeon-side counterpart society operating in the same Mohs micrographic surgery niche, jointly funding scholarships and exhibits.
• National Society for Histotechnology (NSH): Primary national professional society for histotechnologists. Directly comparable because NSH provides CEU credit pathways (ASMH training awards 12 NSH CEUs), overlapping educational content, and serves a closely adjacent membership base of histology professionals.

Others

• Dermatology Nurses' Association (DNA): Nursing-focused professional society serving dermatology allied health staff in Mohs and dermatologic surgery practices. Comparable as an adjacent allied-health specialty society serving the same dermatology clinical teams, but explicitly nursing rather than histotechnology.

Regional players

• Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science (CSMLS): Canadian national professional society for medical laboratory technologists, including histology. Comparable as a national certification and CE society for the same laboratory technician workforce, but operating exclusively in Canada with no US overlap.
