title: Utilizing program requirements to your advantage.
abstract: A curriculum summary developed to assist program officials and faculty of this medical technology program in meeting the American Medical Association Committee on Allied Health Education and Accreditation requirements as enumerated in the Essentials of an Accredited Educational Program for the Medical Technologist is described. After developing this curriculum summary, the faculty and program officials reaped unanticipated benefits from this summary. The curriculum summary aided the faculty and program officials in assuring that there was agreement between cognitive, affective, and psychomotor terminal behavioral objectives with instructional activities and methods of student evaluation. The psychomotor terminal behavioral objectives were modified and utilized as the basis for criterion-referenced, pass/fail laboratory practicals. Finally, the curriculum summary provided a rapid means of review for the curriculum review committee.
