CMO 6 s. 2008 provides guidelines for accreditation of clinical laboratories involved in the training of which interns?

• A. MLS/MT Interns
• B. Nursing Interns
• C. Pharmacy Interns
• D. Dental Interns

Answer: (A)

This item tests which group of interns the CMO 6 series of 2008 targets for accreditation of clinical laboratories used in training. The guidelines are focused on clinical labs that provide the practical, hands-on training required for medical laboratory scientists, also known as medical technologists, during their internship. Accreditation ensures these labs meet standards for supervision, safety, equipment, facilities, and quality management so that interns receive proper, safe, and high-quality training. Nursing, pharmacy, and dental internships have their own separate programs and governing guidelines, so this particular memo is specifically about MLS/MT interns. In practice, a hospital or clinical lab seeking to train MLS/MT interns would need to demonstrate compliance with the accreditation criteria outlined in the memo to qualify as an approved training site.
