Approves/accredits schools of MT?

Approves/accredits schools of MT?

• A. DepEd/CHED
• B. DOH through BRL
• C. PRC
• D. DOST

Answer: (A)

The question tests who has the authority to approve and accredit medical technology schools in the Philippines. Medical Technology programs are higher education offerings, so the primary accrediting body is CHED (Commission on Higher Education), which sets standards for colleges and their programs. DepEd (Department of Education) also plays a role in basic education and in ensuring feeder programs and tracks align with higher education requirements. The Department of Health through BRL, PRC, and DOST do not handle accreditation of schools—DOH oversees clinical training in practice, PRC licenses graduates, and DOST focuses on science and technology development, not accrediting institutions. Thus, the combination of DepEd and CHED is the correct frame for approving/accrediting MT schools.
