Abstract

This tracer study aims to determine what happened to the graduates of the Medical Technology graduates of St. Dominic College of Asia and to get feedbacks and information from them regarding their assessment on the quality and relevance of their education / training obtained from the institution. The researchers used the descriptive research to gather information on the current status of the subject of the study. The respondents of the study include thirty-six (36) Medical Technology graduates from batch 2015 to 2017 of St. Dominic College of Asia. The study showed that the graduates are considered young professionals, single and most are licensed Medical Technologists. Majority of them are already working in line with the profession. It is also revealed that there is no significant difference on the perception of the graduates as to the quality of Medical Technology education being offered at St. Dominic College of Asia in terms of their employment profile (whether employed, self-employed, or unemployed). The researchers recommend that SDCA should maintain its focused, systematic, and persistent effort to improve the facilities especially in physical plant and maintain and improve the quality and relevance of its course offering to make graduates nationally if not globally competitive.
