strongly believes that medical technology may be traced back in 1550 BC when intestinal parasites such as the Taenia and Ascaris were mentioned.

 Dr. Douglas started the first laboratory

instruction in 1884
Dr. James Todd published a laboratory

guide entitled, Manual of Clinical Diagnosis in 1908

12

 17th Century invention of microscope, examination of biological specimens microscopically, identification of parasites and microbes
1896 1st Clinical Laboratory University of Pennsylvania William Pepper Laboratory staffs were mostly doctors who have shown interest in Laboratory Medicine
13

 1900 laboratories began to hire bacteriologist during the outbreaks of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and typhoid to detect the presence of pathogens in samples of sputum, throat cultures, and feces.

14

Medical Technology became more sophisticated and the need for these workers increased and their numbers began to rise.

Laboratory assistants or technicians trained on the job to perform routine test procedures.

15

 1911 laboratory science was accepted as basis for diagnosis of diseases

1915 Pennsylvania State, USA enacted law requiring all hospitals to have a clinical laboratory and to employ full time laboratory technicians.
16

 1920 the American College of Surgeons began requiring trained technicians to supervise hospital laboratories
clinical pathology at this time was an undefined medical science yet its practitioners foresaw that laboratory testing could potentially revolutionize the power and scope of medical diagnosis
17

 1922 the 1st formal recognition of the profession came when a group of 39 physicians laid the foundation for the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) with the objective to promote the practice of scientific medicine by a wider application of clinical laboratory methods to the diagnosis of disease

18

 1928 ASCP created a formal program to ensure the competence of laboratory workers through certification and solicited technicians to apply for certification

1930 Schools for training laboratory workers were established and ASCP issued the first certificate to 400 technicians

19

 1933 ASCP began to require that applicants meet educational prerequisites and pass both written and practical examinations to obtain certification

1940 ASCP required a two-year collegiate education and 12 months actual training in the laboratory as preparation for practice
20

1950 A standard curriculum was

formalized in preparation for a Bachelor of Science degree

ASCP issued 2,453 certificates and the number of technicians certified each year grew steadily
21

1944 26th Medical Laboratory of the 6th US Army in Quiricada Street, Sta. Cruz, Manila started training high school graduates to become laboratory technicians 1945 US Army left the 26th Medical Laboratory to the Philippine Department of Health Dr Alfredo Pio de Roda of the Manila Health Department set up the Public Health Laboratory under the city government of Manila

22

 1947 Public Health laboratory-Manila Health Department (PHL-MHD) started training laboratory technicians
1954 PHL offered 6 months training of high school graduates to become laboratory technicians and issued certificate of completion as Medical Technicians Philippine Union College (PUC) offered B.S. Medical and turned out its first batch of graduates in 1956
23

 1957 University of Santo Tomas (UST) offered Medical Technology as a major in the degree B.S. in Pharmacy not B.S. Medical Technology and without the 12-month internship training

24

1960 Centro Escolar University (CEU), through the initiative of President Carmen de Luna and university registrar Generosa de Leon, delegated Dean Purification Suaco to work for offering the degree B.S. Medical Technology and turned out the first batch of graduates in 1962

25

 1961 Far Eastern University (FEU) started offering B.S. in Medical technology under the College of Medicine and had its first batch of graduates in 1963 University of the Philippines (UP) started offering B.S. in Hygiene

26

 September 15, 1963 an organizational meeting was held at Public Health Laboratory, Manila which was attended by professionals and academicians from the allied medical profession
September 20, 1964 Philippine Association of Medical Technologists (PAMET) had its first national convention at FEU Medical Auditorium
27

 CEU College of Medical technology was

established in 1960
Established under the administration of the

CEUs 2nd President Doa Carmen de Luna

1962, it gained government recognition for

turning out the first batch of graduates consisting of only 8 students.

28

 The college has grown in terms of

equipment and facilities and is now considered the best equipped among the 62 schools of medical technology
With hands-on training on laboratory

instruments, the graduates acquire skills of international standards

and development of clinical laboratory instruments, test kits and other components; and
advising other users and consumers of

clinical laboratory testing services upon appropriate use, maintenance, quality assurance and other procedural and informational requirements.
47

 Clinical Laboratory Scientist provide

critical information, they do not diagnose or prescribe treatment.

Doctors of Medicine renders diagnosis

and provides treatment for human beings

48

 Clinical Laboratory

Scientist qualify by education and experience to perform screening tests to identify the presence or absence of factors known to be associated

with risk of disease or

impairment.
49

Clinical laboratory are bound by applicable

laws and regulations, as well as by standards

of good practice and sound professional

ethics, in their relationships with consumers

and with practitioners of medicine
