Republic of the Philippines OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION “By, CHED MEMORANDUM ORDER No._13, Series of 2017 SUBJECT: POLICIES, STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR THE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY) MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE (BSMT/MLS) PROGRAM In accordance with the pertinent provisions of Republic Act (RA) No.7722, otherwise known as the "Higher Education Act of 1994", in pursuance of an outcomes-based quality assurance system as advocated under CMO No. 46 s. 2012 entitled "Policy Standards to Enhance Quality Assurance (QA) in Philippine Higher Education Through an Outcomes-Based and Typology-Based QA", and by virtue of Commission en banc Resolution No. 231-2017 dated March 28, 2017 the following policies, standards, and guidelines (PSGs) are hereby adopted and promulgated by the Commission. ARTICLE| INTRODUCTION Section 1. Rationale Based on the Guidelines for the Implementation of CMO No. 46 s. 2012, this PSG implements the “shift to learning competency-based standards/outcomes-based education.” It specifies the ‘core ‘competencies’ expected of BS Medical Technology/Medical Laboratory Science graduates “regardless of the type of HEI they graduate from. However, in “recognition of the spirit of Outcomes-Based Education” (OBE), this PSG allow HEI to initiate curricular innovations “in line with the assessment of how best to achieve learning outcomes in their particular contexts and their respective missions...” ARTICLE Il AUTHORITY TO OPERATE .. Government Recognition All private higher education institutions (PHEIs) intending to offer BS Medical Technology/Medical Laboratory Science (BSMT/MLS) must first secure proper authority from the Commission in accordance with this PSG. All PHEIs with an existing BSMT/MLS program are required to shift to an outcomes-based approach based on this PSG. State universities and colleges (SUCs) and local universities and colleges (LUCs) should likewise strictly adhere to the provisions of these policies and standards.

Section 3. The Articles that follow give minimum standards and other requirements, and prescriptions for BSMT/BSMLS. The minimum standards are expressed as a minimum set of desired program outcomes which are given in Article IV Section 6 of this PSG. CHED designed a curriculum to attain such outcomes. This curriculum is shown in Article V Section 9 as a sample curriculum. in designing the curriculum, the CHED employed a curriculum map which is shown in Article V Section 10 as a sample curriculum map. Using a learner-centered/outcomes-based approach, the CHED also determined appropriate curriculum delivery methods shown in Article V Section 11. The sample courseflearning plan given in Article V Section 12 shows some of these methods. Based on the curriculum and the means of its delivery, CHED determined the physical resource requirements for the library, laboratories, and other facilities and the human resource requirements in terms of administration and faculty. See Article VI Section 4. The HEIs are allowed to design curricula suited to their own contexts and missions provided that they can demonstrate that the same leads to the attainment of the required minimum set of outcomes, albeit by a different route. In the same vein, HEIs have latitude in terms of curriculum delivery and in terms of specification and deployment of human and physical resources as long as they can show that the attainment of the program outcomes and satisfaction of program educational objectives can be assured by the alternative means they propose. The HEIs can use the CHED Implementation Handbook for utcomes- Based Education (OBE) and the Institutional Sustainability Assessment (ISA) as a guide in making their submissions for Sections 17 to 22 of Article VIL This PSG is based on the K-12 basic education system and on the new GE program.
