COLLEGE OF ALLIED AND MEDICAL SCIENCES

Home Undergraduate Programs

The College of Allied Medical Sciences offers two programs namely Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology (BSMT) and Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science (BSMLS).

The BMLS program is accredited by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) for Level II. Cebu Doctors' University is the only school in Cebu offering BSRT. Both are four-year programs in which the senior year includes a clinical internship. For the internship, the student rotates in many affiliations including 5 tertiary sister hospitals offering state-of-the-art technology. Exposure of our students to modern facilities is an obvious edge in today's fast-paced advancement in technology and global competitiveness.

Both programs have produced many board placers since it began in the early 1980's and have placed the university among the top performing schools in national licensure examinations. The College of Allied Medical Sciences continues to strive for excellence, producing highly competent professionals in the field of Medical Laboratory Science and Radiologic Technology.

Objectives:

Provide high-quality education and training in the field of Allied Medical Sciences by continuously updating curricular programs to be at par with those of advanced countries.
Develop in the student’s critical analysis and decision-making capability through activities that would stimulate their creativity and sense of scientific inquiry.
Instill in the student’s the deep sense of responsibility, commitment to work, compassion and concern for one’s fellowmen so they ca be partners in the development of national goals and international understanding.
Graduate knowledge, well-rounded, and humane professionals in the fields of Medical Technology and Radiologic Technology capable of answering the needs of self, family, and society.
Inspire our students to set high standards for themselves in all their endeavors; that is, to aim for excellence in curricular as well as non-curricular activities, and eventually in the practice of their profession.

Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology

The Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology / Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science is a four-year program consisting of general education and professional courses such as Hematology, Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology and Parasitology, Immunology-Serology, Immunohematology / Blood Banking, Clinical Microscopy, Histopathologic Techniques and Cytology and Molecular Biology. The fourth year level is the Internship Program of one year in CHED-accredited training laboratories with rotational duties in the different sections of the clinical laboratory.

The Department of Medical Technology has maintained 100% passing rate in the Medical Technologists Licensure Examination for TWELVE (12) CONSECUTIVE YEARS from 2012 to 2024.

Cebu Doctors’ University, Department of Medical Technology is recognized by the Professional Regulation Commission as the No. 1 Top-performing School Nationwide in the Medical Technologists Licensure Examination for five (5) consecutive years in 2015 to 2019 and in 2023 and 2024.

PAASCU Level II re-accredited

Objectives:

- Aim for high quality education by providing a conducive atmosphere for learning and developing the students’ critical and analytical thinking.
- Encourage the students to strive for excellence by engaging them in activities that would stimulate and enhance their intellectual capability, as well as their moral, spiritual, social, economic, and emotional growth.
- Pave the way for the students to acquire adequate professional knowledge and skills in instrumentation, research, and laboratory diagnostics methods by providing a comprehensive training program in a background of adequate facilities.
- Emphasize the important role of medical technologists in patient care by setting a high standard of performance in their practice and by inculcating positive values, a sense of commitment to work, compassion, and concern for one’s fellowmen.

Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology

The Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology (BSRT) is a comprehensive four-year degree program that combines general education with specialized professional courses. In the fourth year, students participate in a Clinical Education Training Program at accredited affiliate hospitals, gaining hands-on experience in the field. This program provides extensive training in general radiography and various specialized areas of Radiology, including Ultrasound, Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Mammography, Nuclear Medicine, Radiotherapy, Interventional Radiology, and emerging technologies in the field.

Objectives:

- - Establish exposure factors that will provide quality radiographic images with the least radiation exposure to patient.
  - Evaluate radiographic images with regards to their proper positioning and image quality.
  - Understand and apply the principles of radiation protection, as well as the laws and regulations governing of application and ionizing in medicine.
  - Provide patient care and comfort.
  - Evaluate the performance of radiological equipment and be knowledgeable of their limits and operation.
  - Exercise independent judgment and discretion in the technical performance of medical imaging procedures.
  - Understand and perform radiologic quality control procedures.
- The technological preparation for Radiologic technology emphasizes the need for a thorough understanding of all aspects of the patient’s radiological need and care. Upon completion of the course, the graduates should be able to
  - Apply knowledge of anatomy, physiology, positioning, and radiographic techniques to accurately demonstrate anatomic structures of interests
