This is especially important in resource-limited countries where shortage of laboratory personnel creates a large demand for skilled graduates. Internet and other technology can be useful to teach specific tasks in CBET. Even in resource-limited countries, technology can be used in the implementation of competency based education and training curricula in medical laboratory programs. ER -
