• B. Four-year program including an internship program for 1 year during the fourth-year level
• C. Four-year program including internship for 2 years during the fifth year
• D. Two-year program including internship for 1 year during the fourth year

Answer: (B)

The question tests the required structure of the Medical Technology education program as specified by CHED in CMO 13 s. 2017. The approved four-year bachelor’s curriculum includes a mandatory one-year internship, typically taken during the fourth year, to provide hands-on clinical training in accredited laboratories. This internship ensures students attain the practical competencies, quality-control practices, safety, and professional standards needed before applying for licensure. The other options propose shorter, longer, or differently timed internships or a different overall program length, which do not align with the memo’s specified format.
