Abstract

CLEP subject examinations for the areas of clinical chemistry, microbiology, hematology and immunohematology were administered to medical technology (MT) and medical laboratory technician (MLT) students. Test scores were analyzed and showed that MT students scored from 25% to 48% higher than MLT students. Mean percentile ranks were compared with college courses completed; these indicated that additional upper division academic courses raised the mean percentile rank. Results indicate that the Microbiology Category Examination evaluates general microbiology rather than clinical microbiology. Data in this study support the use of the CLEP examinations to measure cognitive knowledge of MLTs for upward mobility, thereby eliminating duplication of course content.

摘要

针对临床化学、微生物学、血液学和免疫血液学领域的大学水平考试科目（CLEP），对医学技术（MT）专业和医学检验技师（MLT）专业的学生进行了测试。对考试成绩进行分析后发现，MT专业的学生比MLT专业的学生成绩高出25%至48%。将平均百分等级与已完成的大学课程进行比较；结果表明，额外的高年级学术课程提高了平均百分等级。结果表明，微生物学类别考试评估的是普通微生物学而非临床微生物学。本研究中的数据支持使用CLEP考试来衡量MLT人员的认知知识，以促进其职业晋升，从而消除课程内容的重复。
