POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND
GUIDELINES (PPG)
PPG for EXTERNSHIP
Rationale
It has been stipulated in the UBCL INTSHP2 Training
Manual that completion of all internship requirements and
deficiencies (examinations, re – comprehensive, extension,

Coverage
This PPG will apply to externs who failed to complete
the requirements for MLSOJT2 / INTSHP2 within one
year after the end of their second term internship.
PPG for EXTERNSHIP
Guidelines
1. BMLS/BSMLS internship 2 involves the rotation of the students in the

equivalent to two (2) units.

Blood Sections: Non-Blood Sections:

1. Clinical Chemistry 5. Microbiology
2. Hematology 6. Histopathology
3. Immunoserology 7. Clinical Microscopy
4. Blood Banking 8. Parasitology
9. Medical Technology
Laws and Bioethics
 PPG for EXTERNSHIP
2. In cases when an intern is not able to complete his/her deficiencies within
the prescribed period (1 year), the following rules may apply:

•An extern who has been continuously taking the scheduled examinations
but still fails to attain the required passing grade is advised to re- enroll
