Uncorking the Bottleneck of Low Pass Rates in the Philippine Radiologic Technology Licensure Exam
Mark Alipio, Grace Meroflor Lantajo
Abstract:
Persistently low pass rates in the Philippine Radiologic Technology (RT) licensure exam raise concerns about the competency of graduates entering the healthcare workforce. This commentary describes the potential reasons behind this bottleneck, exploring a possible mismatch between the education provided by RT programs and the competencies assessed by the licensure exam. The author argues for a multi-stakeholder approach to address this issue and ensure a competent RT workforce in the Philippines.
