Under CMO 14 s. 2006, the minimum MT/MLS program is a four-year program including an internship of how long during which period?

• A. Four-year program including an internship of 6 months during the second semester of the fourth year
• B. Two-year program with a 6-month internship in the third year
• C. Four-year program with a 12-month internship in the final year
• D. Three-year program with a 6-month internship in the second year

Answer: (A)

Under this regulation, the MT/MLS degree is a four-year program with a clinical internship that lasts six months, and that internship is completed in the second semester of the fourth year. This placement in the final year lets students consolidate and apply their theoretical knowledge in a supervised clinical setting, gain hands-on competency across core laboratory disciplines, and demonstrate readiness for professional practice and licensure upon graduation. The other options don’t fit because the program length is fixed at four years, the internship duration is six months (not a full year), and the internship is designated for the final year (specifically the second semester of the fourth year), not earlier in the curriculum.
