Background

For five delicate years, the Medical Technology Program has moved on. It has braced itself with the inevitable motion of coming out from the array of self-reliance. Its humble goal of proving oneself had entailed this winning horizon, from a feeble program to an able College of Medical Technology.

In the onslaught, school year 1999-2000, Program Coordinator, Aurora B. Arao, RMT and Dr. Florejos L. Gorospe, the then Dean of the College of Medicine & Surgery opend the doors of Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology Program, as approved by the Board of regents. Here, The BSMT program was under the umbrella of CMS.

Came its second year that the program seemed tested, Prof. Arao did not continue her term. It was then, Prof. Rowena N. Addun, RMT (now the dean of the college) who took over and made the break. With conviction, she assumed the office, SY 2001-2002. It was on these years that determination has to be the main element to balance pressures and counteract negative feedbacks.

Another year came, but crucial moments seemed to turn its engine off. First batch of graduates were on the list. Surely, it called for a celebration not only because for these "chosen few" graduates but because it meant more and more "chosen few" graduates. The first batch then singled out the vision of the program and fulfilled its dream. The result of the Licensure Examination was released. The first board examination was commendable. A 100% passing rate with a national passing rate of 40% was indeed, a total breaking of the eye, considering a newborn department. It really was, a job-well done.

The goal of ensuring competent Medical Technologists that significantly will contribute in health care program in the country is made possible by the College. The first batch immediately practiced their profession, right after having their licenses, to wit: Arnie B. Natividad, RMT, had her training at UP-PGH and now a Lecturer of the college; Nellie Remigio, RMT, Amy Palattao, RMT and Raul Cagurangan, RMT are at present connected at St. Paul Hospital, Tuguegarao City; Beatriz Macababbad, RMT at Divine Mercy Clinic; Marilyn Calimlim, RMT is based at DOH Piat while Jennilyn B. Daquioag, RMT is also a Lecture of the College.

The fast growing transformation paved the way in the formulation of a proposal for its separation from CMS. Under the government of President Roger P. Perez, The College of Medical Technology existed. The college was given its own building, recommended for permanent faculty to meet the standards of the course and basically, gave his full support to the medtech family.

This is its legacy, from a meek to spirited "Primum Non Nocere" College, it evolved, through the efforts of the present administration.
