1) Below are your program's student learning outcomes (SLOs). Please update as needed.

Each MEDT course has a set of learning outcomes listed in the syllabus. Discipline specific committees (e.g., hematology & hemostasis, urinalysis & body fluids, microbiology, chemistry, blood bank, immunology, professional traits) have developed terminal competency objectives that are used to assess student progress while in the curriculum, and entry-level skills at the end of Clinical Training (MEDT 591).

The National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Science defines the required curricular components to fulfill the accreditation requirements. UH Manoa Medical Technology program is accredited by NAACLS.

Entry-level competency and body of knowledge are also outlined by the national professional society, American Society for Clinical Laboratory Sciences.

General Programmatic SLOs:

1. Meet the MLS entry-level competency skills for each discipline as defined by the Curriculum subcommittees. Skills include pre-analytical (e.g., specimen procurement, preparation, equipment calibration), analytical (e.g., analysis, instrument operation, quality control), and post-analytical (e.g., reporting, follow up).

2. Demonstrate MLS entry-level knowledge of each discipline as specified by the Curriculum subcommittees. Knowledge include principles of analyses, sources of errors, correlations, interpretations, managing unexpected outcomes, communications.

3. Demonstrate MLS entry-level professionalism as specified by the Curriculum subcommittees. Professional traits include reliability, flexibility, integrity, ethics, initiative, and interpersonal relations.
