Medical Technology Education Flashcards
A four -year program consisting of general education subjects and professional subjects. The students attend classroom courses for 3 years and clinical rotation for 1 year.
Medical Technology
Study of foundations of community health. It emphasizes the promotion of community, public and environmental health through immersion of students with the people of the community,
Community and Public Health
About laws and administrative orders and legal documents related to the practice of MT in the Philippines.
MTLBE
Discusses techniques in the histopathology section of the laboratory for the preparation of tissue samples collected like Tissue processing, Cutting of tissues, Staining, Mounting, and Lab Safety
Histopathologic Techniques with Cytology
Introduction to MLS, Lab Safety, and Waste Management.
PMTP1
Study of concepts and principles of hereditary and inheritance. Also discusses the abnormalities and genetic disorders.
Cytogenetics
Clinical Laboratory Assistance and Phlebotomy. (pre, analytical, post analytical)
PMTP2
Study of fundamentals of cell, tissues and organs with emphasis on microscopic structures , characteristics, differences and functions.
Human Histology
Preparation of culture media, Collection of specimen, Preparation of bacteria smear, Inoculation of samples, Characterization of colonies, Biochemical testing, and Antimicrobial Susceptibility testing
Clinical Bacteriology
Planning, organizing, staffing directing and controlling in a clinical
laboratory setting.
Laboratory management
Deals with the study of fungi and viruses.
Mycology and Virology
Microscopic identification of parasites that are pathogenic to man. (e.g. Nematodes, Trematodes, Cestodes, Protozoa, etc.)
Clinical Parasitology
Encompasses the concepts and principles of physiologically active soluble substances and waste materials present in the body fluids, particularly in blood. Note: CC2 also covers the study of endocrine gland and hormone.
Clinical chemistry 1 & 2
Tackles the concept of inheritance , characterization and laboratory identification of red cell antigens and their corresponding antibodies. (e.g. ABO and Rh typing , Blood donation process).
Immunohematology and Blood Banking
Study of concepts of blood as a tissue. Study of procedures and tests perform for laboratory such as CBC, Platelet count, Blood smearing and many others.
Hematology 1 and 2
taken during 4th year in the program together with the internship.
Seminar 1 and 2
deals with nucleic acid and protein molecule interaction within the cell. It also deals with the application of different molecular techniques as tools in the diagnosis of diseases.
Molecular Biology and Diagnostics
focuses on urine and other body fluids (excluding blood). - routine urinalysis (macroscopic, microscopic, and chemical examination)
Clinical microscopy
