“It is a balance of both theoretical and practical skills which always makes learning dynamic and engaging. Moreover, medical technologists are very important members of the hospital because they provide the test results that serve as the basis for a doctor’s diagnosis. Hence, providing the patient with the right treatment is highly dependent on how well a medical technologist performs his or her job.
The scholarship aims to not only to help students achieve their dreams of becoming medical technologists but to eventually produce outstanding medical professionals that will serve the Philippines and its people with quality healthcare. “The scholarship award has indeed helped me immensely in achieving where I am now, and will continue to be sincerely grateful for the scholarship committee that had given me the great opportunity to inspire other students, not just in medical laboratory science, but to those who continue to strive hard towards achieving their dreams in whatever career path they choose,” he said in his testimonial.
