Which provision relates to Accreditation of Schools of Medical Technology and of Training Laboratories?

• A. Section 13: Accreditation of Schools of Medical Technology and of Training Laboratories
• B. Section 7: Board of Examiners for Medical Technology
• C. Section 6: Minimum Required Course
• D. Section 11: Functions and Duties of the Board

Answer: (A)

Accreditation of educational programs and training facilities ensures that schools and the laboratories used for clinical training meet established quality standards before graduates enter the profession. This provision explicitly establishes the framework for evaluating and approving medical technology programs and training labs, creating a formal recognition process that supports consistent, competent education. This focus on accreditation is distinct from provisions that deal with licensure exams (the Board’s role in examining and licensing practitioners), the minimum required course content (curriculum specifics), or the general functions and duties of the Board (governance and oversight).
