The Competency Assessment Tool for Medical Laboratory Technicians is designed to comprehensively evaluate individuals' knowledge, skills, and attitudes in this critical healthcare role. The primary objective of this tool is to ensure that laboratory technicians possess the necessary competencies to perform their duties effectively, thereby maintaining high standards of laboratory services. By utilizing various methods such as checklists, direct observation of procedural skills, and mini-clinical laboratory evaluations, this tool assesses key domains, including human values and professional ethics, quality management, communication, critical thinking, and laboratory safety.

It aims to identify strengths and areas for improvement, providing insights into the technicians' readiness to handle daily responsibilities, implement quality control measures, adhere to safety protocols, and interact professionally with patients and colleagues. The assessment also seeks to pinpoint any additional training needs, ensuring that technicians are well-equipped to meet the demands of their role, ultimately contributing to the overall quality and safety of healthcare delivery.
