aim to develop foundational knowledge, skills, values, and habits necessary for students to develop into humane individuals that have a deeper sense of self and acceptance of others.
General Education Courses
Courses taken for learners to develop the knowledge, technical competence, professional attitude, and values necessary to practice and meet the demands of the profession.
Professional Courses
Clinical Laboratory Assistance encompasses the concepts and principles of the different assays performed in the clinical laboratory. Phlebotomy deals with the basic concepts, principles, and application of the standard procedures in blood collection, transport, and processing. It also involves the study of pre-analytic, analytic, and post-analytic variables that affect reliability of test results.
PLMS 1,2
This course involves the study of the foundations of community health that include human ecology, demography, and epidemiology. It emphasizes the promotion of community, public, and environmental health and the immersion and interaction of students with people in the community.
Community and Public Health for MT/MLS
This course is focused on the study of the concepts and principles of heredity and inheritance which include genetic phenomena, sex determination, and genetic defects rooted in inheritance, among others. It also discusses the abnormalities and genetic disorders involving the chromosomes and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). Emphasis is given to the analysis of nucleic acids and their application to medical science.
Cytogenetics
The laboratory component of this course primarily deals with the microscopic microscopic structures, characteristics, differences, and functions. This course deals with the study of the fundamentals of cells, tissues, and organs with emphasis on identification and differentiation of cells that make up the systems of the body.
Human Histology
covers the basic concepts and principles of disease processes, etiology, and the development of anatomic, microscopic changes brought about by the disease process. It deals with the histopathologic techniques necessary for the preparation of tissue samples collected via surgery, biopsy, and/or autopsy for macroscopic and microscopic examinations for diagnostic purposes
Histopathologic and Cytologic Techniques
deals with the study of the physiology and morphology of bacteria and their role in infection and immunity. Its emphasis is on the collection of specimen and the isolation and identification of bacteria. It also covers antimicrobial susceptibility testing and development of resistance to antimicrobial substances.
Clinical Bacteriology
concerned with the study of animal parasites in humans and their medical significance in the country. Its emphasis is on the pathophysiology, epidemiology, life cycle, prevention and control, and the identification of ova and/or adult worms and other forms seen in specimens submitted for diagnostic purposes. Some of the procedures and tests that students perform for the laboratory component of the course in a school-based laboratory are Microscopic identification of diagnostic features of different groups of parasites pathogenic to man (e.g., nematodes, trematodes, cestodes, protozoa, plasmodium, among others) Different methods of preparing smear for microscopic examination (e.g., direct fecal smear, Kato-Katz, among others)
Clinical Parasitology
tackles the concepts of inheritance, characterization, and laboratory identification of red cells antigens and their corresponding antibodies. It also covers the application of these antigens and/or antibodies in transfusion medicine and transfusion reactions work-up.
Immunohematology, blood banking
deals with the study of fungi and viruses as agents of diseases with emphasis on epidemiology, laboratory identification and characterization, and prevention and control
Mycology and Virology
ourse looks into the concepts of laboratory management which are planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling as applied in clinical laboratory setting. It also tackles the process of solving problems, quality assurance and quality control, preparation of policy and procedure manuals, and other activities necessary to maintain a well-functioning laboratory.
Laboratory Management
encompasses various laws, administrative orders, and other approved legal documents related to the practice of Medical Technology/Medical Laboratory Science in the Philippines, Bioethics looks into the study of ethics as applied to health and health care delivery and to human life in general. Different bioethical principles, philosophical principles, virtues and norms, and the Code of Ethics of medical technologists are also discussed.
Medical Technology Laws and Bioethics
eals with the concepts and principles of hemostasis, and abnormalities involving red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), and platelets. Laboratory identification of blood cell abnormalities, quantitative measurement of coagulation factors, and disease correlation are emphasized.
Hematology 2
ourse deals with the study of the concepts of blood as a tissue. Formation, metabolism of cells, laboratory assays, correlation with pathologic conditions, special hematology evaluation are given emphasis. Quality assurance and quality control in hematology laboratory as well as bone marrow studies are also discussed.
Hematology 1
course focuses on the study of urine and other body fluids (excluding blood). It includes the discussion of their formation, laboratory analyses, disease processes, and clinical correlation of laboratory results.
Analysis of Urine and Body Fluids
Clinical Microscopy
encompasses the concepts and principles of physiologically active soluble substances and waste materials present in body fluids, particularly in the blood. The study includes formation, laboratory analyses, reference values and clinical correlation with pathologic conditions. The course also looks into instrumentation and automation, quality assurance, and quality control.
Clinical Chemistry 1
continuation of Clinical Chemistry 1 and deals with the concepts and principles of physiologically active soluble substances and waste materials present in body fluids, particularly in the blood. It also covers the study of endocrine glands and hormones and their formation, laboratory analyses, and clinical correlation. Therapeutic drug monitoring and laboratory analyses of drugs and substances of abuse as well as toxic substances are also emphasized.
Clinical Chemistry 2
course is taken during the student’s fourth year in the program together with the internship training. It deals with current laboratory analyses used in the practice of medical technology.
Seminars 1,2
deals with the nucleic acid and protein molecule interaction within the cell to promote proper growth, cell division, and development. It covers the molecular mechanisms of DNA replication, repair, transcription, translation, protein synthesis, and gene regulation.
This course is focused on the concepts, principles, and application of molecular biology in clinical laboratory. It also deals with the application of different molecular techniques as tools in the diagnosis of diseases.
Molecular Biology and Diagnostics
This course deals with the basic concepts and principles of research as applied in Medical Technology/Clinical Laboratory Science.
Research 1 (Introduction to Laboratory Science Research)
This covers the methodology of the research (approved in Research 1), writing the research paper in the format prescribed by the institution and international research agencies for possible publication, and presentation of the finished and completed research in a formal forum.
Research 2 (Research Paper Writing and Presentation)
This intensive training aims to apply the theoretical aspects of the profession into practice.

inherent in a learning activity. involves a planned, systematic, and organized way of testing, measuring, collecting, and obtaining necessary information to gain feedback on students’ progress against set standards per course and on the effectivity of the teaching methodology. Thus, feedback comes from both teachers and students.
Assessment
assessment for learning.during and/or within the instructional process of a course. include quizzes, short-answer questions, reflection papers, and the like.
Formative assessment
assessment of learning. end of instruction, grading period (prelim, mid-terms, finals), or comprehensive examination. to know how well the student attained the learning outcomes. Examples of summative assessment tools include end-of-unit and end-of-term exams, research/ term papers, and final projects.
summative assessment
This type of assessment is given prior to instruction. This is used to gauge what students already know and do not know about the topic at hand.
Diagnostic assessment
