Using Technology in Resource Limited Countries for Competency Based Education and Training (Educational TECHNOLOGY‪)‬

INTRODUCTION Technology is useful in the implementation of competency based education and training (CBET) curriculum in medical laboratory programs, even in resource-limited countries. Uninterrupted power and access to internet are priorities in many medical laboratory programs in developing countries and students often have access to internet cafes and computer centers on and off campus. As students become aware of careers in medical laboratories in resource-limited countries, they want access to education and training that adequately prepares them for the workforce and provides opportunities for advancement. Competency based education and training often meets those needs since it provides for the education aspect, the knowledge and moral development, and the training aspect, supervised practice for proficiency in a skill or profession.
