ABSTRACT
In the dynamic landscape of healthcare, the education and training of medical professionals are paramount to delivering high-quality patient care. Medical Technology is a demanding and intellectually rigorous field that equips students with knowledge and practical skills. The study focused on the factors, personal, social, and career opportunities affecting the students in their study of the Medical Technology Program at Holy Name University during the school year 2021-2022. The researchers employed a descriptive research design and used a modified questionnaire adapted from Dr. Nancy T. Pascual’s (2014) study to gather essential information from the second-year to the fourth-year level Medical Technology students. For the statistical analysis, the data on personal factors, social factors, and career opportunities were subjected to the calculation of the weighted mean. The weighted mean responses were subjected to Spearman Rank Correlation to establish the relationship among the factors that affected the students in their study of Medical Technology. Lastly, a one-way analysis of variance was used to determine whether or not there was a significant difference in these factors among the three year levels. Since the result showed a significant difference, a post hoc test like Tukey-Kramer’s test was conducted to examine closely which pairwise groupings had significant differences. The study revealed that second-year students had the highest mean of 2.33, followed by fourth-year and third-year students with mean 2.10 and 2.06 , respectively, all with the description of,””moderately influential”. The data also demonstrated a significant correlation between personal factors and career opportunities (p-value=0.03) among Medical Technology students. The results also showed significant differences in personal factors (p-value=0.04), social factors (p-value=0.001), and career opportunities (p-value=0.04) among the year levels of the Medical Technology Program. The researchers recommend that the insights gained from this study, specifically concerning personal factors, social factors, and career opportunities, should be extended to other academic degree programs.
