PRAYER BEFORE CLASS Holy Spirit, Divine Creator, true source of light and fountain of wisdom! Pour forth your brilliance upon my dense intellect, dissipate the darkness which covers me, that of sin and of ignorance. Grant me a penetrating mind to understand, a retentive memory, method and ease of learning, the lucidity to comprehend, and abundant grace in expressing myself. Guide the beginning of my work, direct its progress and bring it to successful completion. This I ask through Jesus Christ, true God, and true man, living and reigning with You and the Father, forever and ever. Amen.  PRINCIPLES OF MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY PRACTICE 1 PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING LABORATORY PERSONNEL Outline PART I PART III Professionals within the Clinical Laws Governing Medical Laboratory Technologists Organizational Chart of the Professional Code of Conduct Clinical Laboratory and Ethics PART II Professional Organizations Learning Outcomes 1.
