The latest CHED memorandum order providing for the policies, standards, and guidelines for the Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology/Medical Laboratory Science program is?

The Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology/Medical Laboratory Science program in the Philippines is governed by specific policies, standards, and guidelines set forth by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). The latest memorandum that outlines these regulations is CMO No. 13 series of 2017. This specific memorandum reflects updates and improvements in the curriculum and program structure required for medical technology education, ensuring that it meets the evolving needs of healthcare and aligns with national standards for medical laboratory practice.

The other options refer to earlier memorandum orders that either predate or do not correspond with the current standards for the program. For instance, CMO No. 14 series of 2006 and CMO No. 52 series of 2016 contain previous regulations that have since been updated or superseded by more recent guidelines. CMO No. 06 series of 2018, while related to medical education, does not pertain specifically to the Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology/Medical Laboratory Science program, thus further clarifying why the 2017 memorandum is the correct and most relevant reference.
