These organizations also provide opportunities for professional growth {nd continuing education by offering workshops, trainings and seminars, and by publishing research journals. Interested individuals must pay membership fees and monthly or yearly dues to avail or access the benefits and services that professional organizations offer to their members- In the Philippines, membership to an accredited professional organization (APO) or accredited integrated professional organization (AIPO) is a requirement for hiring, retention, and sometimes for the renewal of professional licenses. An APO or AIPO is a professional society duly accredited by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and the respective Professional Regulatory Board (PRB). There are several professional organizations that cater to Medical Technology/Medical Laboratory Science professionals in the Philippines and abroad. Particularly, the Philippine ‘Association of Medical Technologists, Inc. (PAMET) is the accredited professional organization and the leading national organization for Registered Medical Technologists in the country. On the other hand, the Philippine Association of Schools of Medical Technology and Public Health, Inc. (PASMETH) is the only professional organization of schools for Medical Technology/Medical Laboratory Science. Its membership is also open to deans, teachers, and clinical instructors in CHED-accredited educational institutions offering Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology/Medical Laboratory Science. Benefits of Membership in Professional Organizations According to Ryan Tracey (Top 6 Benefits of Membership Organizations: Are They Still Relevant to eLearning), the benefits of membership in professional organizations are professionalism, education, perks, networking, profile, and recognition.

Also, most professional societies publish research journals which could serve as avenues for improving the body of knowledge in a certain field. Perks Perks usually come in the form of monetary discounts on registration fees for professional development activities of the organization. These discounts are offered exclusively to members of the organization. Networking Activities conducted by professional organizations provide opportunities for building networks in the field. Gatherings and other activities can be potential avenues for creating long-term linkages and connections with other professionals in the field.Professional Organizations profile hip in a professional ses Members! # onal organization can also bui rofessional.

A professional organization can be multipurpose and could encompass all functions. 1. Accrediting Organizations Accrediting organizations accredit curricular programs in educational institutions. An educational institution applying for accreditation will then be visited by a technical committee of experts from the accrediting agency to verify its compliance to the standards of quality education. Membership in this type of professional organization is limited and is usually institutional.

It was first organized in 2002 during the leadership of former PASMETH president, Dr. Zenaida C. Cajucom. The first PHISMETS advisers were Prof. Marilyn Bala (CHS), Prof. Nova Aida C. Cajucom (FEU-NRMF) and Prof. Zennje B. Aceron (UST). The organization became inactive due to inevitable reasons, but. reorganized on November 25, 2006 at FEU-NRMF headed by Dir. Magdalena Natividad then Chair of the Committee on Student Development, and Dean Bernard Ebuen, zt On February 24, 2009, PHISMETS held its first Medical Technology Student Congress at Our Lady of Fatima University in Valenzuela City. The said activity was attended by more than 500 medical technology students from various universities and colleges. Aside from the annual student congress, PHISMETS also conducts an annual Medical Technology Student Leadership Training and Strategic Planning usually during the month of May. This activity is aimed at honing the leadership qualities of the students of member schools and promoting camaraderie among student-leaders. The first PHISMETS Leadership Training Seminar was held at ATI-CAR Benguet State University in La Trinidad, Benguet on May 13, 2010. Since May 2014, a Council of Student Advisers (COSA) is designated yearly during the leadership training seminar to help facilitate and oversee the PHISMETS national organization and its local chapters. logy Students (PHISMETS) is the nationay The Seal 3 Circles - symbolize the continuous active involvement of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao in the national transforming venue of medical laboratory science students Laurel - symbolizes nature and the continuation of life every year Green Letters - represent the color of health 5 Bubbles from a Test Tube - represent the 5 objectives ‘embodied in the constitution of the oganization 16 Interconnected Molecules Outside a Test Tube — signify the unity of the 15 board schools exploring various possibilities and aiming towards the integral growth nd holistic development of medical laboratory science ‘students Microscope - represents medical laboratory scienceProfessional Organizations foreig Professional Societies professional societies for medical technolo ists exi: vory professional societies for medical technoler anne World: Foreign and local technologists have the same goals—to elevate the ‘ory science and safeguard the welfare of their as Gone Albania and Laboratory Medicine Osterreichische Gesellschaft far i : Austria Klinische Chemie (Austrian Soca or La | and Clinical Chemistry) may MecraT OaLMKc a Brunei Darussalam Association of Brun Medical Laboratory Scientists BAMLS, Bulgaria Bulgarian Society of Clinical Laboratory BSCL | 5 Cameroon _ | Cameroon Association of Medical Laboratory Science CAMELS Canada Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science CSMLS China Chinese Society of Laboratory Medicine SLM mae Hrvatska Laboratorijska Udruga Medicine Croatian Laboratory Association (CLA) na aa Association of Clinical Laboratory Directors, ae Biomedical and Clinical Laboratory Scientists ACLDBCLS Czech Ceska Spolenost Klinické Biochemie Republic __| (Czech Society for Clinical Biochemistry) Se Denmark __| Danske Bioanalytikere (Danish Bloanalysts) DBio Eesti Laborimeditsiini Uhingu r E a (Association of Estonian Biomedical Laboratory Scientists) Ew Deutscher Verband Technischer Assitentinnen.
