What does Section 24 of RA 5527 address?

Section 24 of Republic Act No. 5527, also known as the "Philippine Medical Technology Act of 1969," is specifically concerned with the oath-taking of medical technologists. The provision outlines the necessity for newly licensed medical technologists to take an oath before they can officially practice their profession, ensuring that they commit to uphold the ethical standards and responsibilities inherent in their field. This oath serves as a formal declaration of their professional responsibilities and adherence to the ethical practices associated with medical technology.

The other options pertain to different aspects of the regulation and practice of medical technology. While "Scope of Examination" relates to the nature and specifics of the licensing exam, "Report of Rating" concerns the evaluation and results of candidates' performances. "Foreign Reciprocity" deals with the recognition of qualifications obtained abroad and the conditions under which foreign practitioners may be allowed to practice in the country. None of these sections pertain to the ceremonial act of oath-taking, which is why the focus on Section 24 is rightly on the oath-taking requirement for practitioners.
