Republic Act No. 5527 established which body as the central authority for the education and training of medical technologists?

• A. Board of Examiners for Medical Technology
• B. Council of Medical Technology Education
• C. Medical Technology Licensing Board
• D. National Council for Health Technology

Answer: (B)

The central idea tested is who is designated to coordinate and standardize the education and training of medical technologists by law. Republic Act No. 5527 established the Council of Medical Technology Education as the body responsible for education and training oversight, setting curricula, and ensuring programs meet professional standards. The Board of Examiners for Medical Technology, by contrast, handles licensure and examinations for practitioners, not the educational framework itself. Other entities like a National Council for Health Technology do not hold this education-wide coordinating role under this act.
