In accordance with the policies and directives of the Professional Regulation Commission on licensure examinations, the Board promulgated on January 17, 1994 Resolution No. 02 entitled “SYLLABI FOR, AND GUIDELINES IN, THE PREPARATION OF QUESTIONS IN THE SUBJECTS OF THE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY LICENSURE EXAMINATION”.

A close examination of the topics or items pertaining to each of the board subjects in Medical Technology and their corresponding weight in percent would show that there is a need —

1.         To identify or denominate the item or items that should be represented by the catchword “Others” (6.1.11; 6.4.2.5; 6.5.2.4 and 6.6.11) and give their corresponding weight in percent to ensure that the questions will come from a known source;

2.         To reduce the weight of some items and distribute the same to some other items under a particular subject or topic in order to maintain a reasonable balance between and among items in terms of weight;

3.         To subdivide one topic into sub-topics (6.2.2 and 6.6.5) and give their corresponding weight to let it be known that the questions in “Clinical Chemistry Proper” would come from definite sources with their corresponding weights;

4.         To change the nomenclature of some of the items to conform with the nomenclature of the same under the present curriculum, and

5.         To spell out the abbreviations in some of the items for clarity.

In fine, the revision is aimed at improving the guidelines and making known the topics or items from which the questions will come to be fair to those who will take the licensure examinations.

WHEREFORE, the Board RESOLVED to revise Board Resolution No. 02, S. 1994 by adopting the revisions and/or changes incorporated and indicated by the underscored or underlined topics or items including the weight in percent in the revised guidelines appended to this Resolution as Annex “A”*.

The Guidelines appended to Resolution No. 02, S. 1994 is hereby superseded by this Revised Guidelines appended to this Resolution.

This Resolution shall, after its approval by the Commission, take effect after fifteen (15) days from its publication in the Official Gazette or any newspaper of general circulation, whichever is earlier.

The revised guidelines shall be used for purposes of licensure examination only after the lapse of six (6) months from date of effectivity.

Let copies of this Resolution be furnished the deans of schools, colleges and universities, public and private, offering course/s in Medical Technology as well as to the Presidents of the APOs and Non-APOs for dissemination to concerned individuals and/or sectors.
