Approves/accredits training laboratories?

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

Answer: (B)

accrediting training laboratories falls under the Department of Health, specifically through the Bureau of Research Laboratories. This body sets the standards for clinical laboratories and oversees the facilities where medical technology students complete their practicum, ensuring labs have proper equipment, safety measures, quality control, and qualified supervision. The other agencies oversee different realms—education at the school level (DepEd/CHED), professional licensure (PRC), or science and technology research (DOST)—and do not handle accreditation of training laboratories. So, the DOH through BRL is the authority that approves/accredits training laboratories.
