The Medical Laboratory Science/ Medical Technology curriculum is mandated to include internship training program in the fourth year of its academic program. This program has been implemented through the recommendation of government laboratories since 1965.

In the early years of the Medical Technology Program, there was a limited number of accredited laboratories in the community, thus the expected fourth-year students could not be accommodated. The University gained an advantage because the trainers of the government facility where the school was affiliated were also members of the faculty. However, the hospital management changed and the laboratory staff disintegrated due to changes in responsibilities and work ethics.
