The Memorandum about the Guidelines for the Accreditation of Clinical Laboratories Involved in the Training of Medical Laboratory Science/MT Interns is CMO No.?

• A. CMO No. 6, s. 2008
• B. CMO No. 5, s. 2007
• C. CMO No. 7, s. 2009
• D. CMO No. 8, s. 2010

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that internship training in medical laboratory science is governed by a policy that specifies how clinical laboratories must be accredited to host interns. The 2008 Memorandum Order that focuses on accreditation of laboratories involved in MLS/MT intern training provides the standards for what labs must have and how they must operate—from facilities and equipment to supervision, training plans, and evaluation. This document serves as the authoritative reference for ensuring consistent, quality internship experiences across labs. CMOs from other years address different regulatory topics and do not pertain to the accreditation of internship training sites.
