AB  - Define competency based education and training (CBET)Describe the curriculum needs in developing countriesExplain the process of CBET curriculum development for medical laboratory programsJustify the use of internet and other technology in CBET curricula for medical laboratory programsDescribe an example CBET curriculum for a resource limited countryCompetency based education and training (CBET) helps to prepare graduates of medical laboratory science programs for the specific needs of the workforce. 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.
