History and Development of Medical Technology Flashcards
The laws in medical technology are a collection of implementing rules and regulations (IRR) governing the practice of medical technology pursuant to the provisions of the
Medical Technology Act of 1969
These laws provide a glimpse of the policies and guidelines for the accreditation of Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology and Bachelor of Science in Laboratory Science programs, clinical laboratories. water testing, and drug testing laboratories.
Medical Technology Act of 1969
is a branch of the allied health professions that deals with the study of various disciplines such as chemistry, microbiology, parasitology, blood banking, hematology, clinical microscopy, histology, and histopathology, among others.
