Which document provides guidelines for accrediting clinical laboratories involved in the training of MLS/MT interns?

• A. CMO 6 s. 2008
• B. AO 11 s. 2007
• C. RA 5527
• D. AO 118-B s. 1992

Answer: (A)

Guidelines for accrediting clinical laboratories that train MLS/MT interns are provided by CMO 6 s. 2008. This document specifically sets the standards and procedures for approving internship sites, covering who can supervise interns, the structure and content of the training program, the facilities and safety requirements, and how sites are evaluated and renewed. It is tailored to the accreditation process of training laboratories, making it the most direct source for this purpose. In contrast, the general Medical Technology Act (RA 5527) governs licensure and practice of the profession rather than internship-site accreditation, and Administrative Orders from other years address different regulatory matters.
