Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic swiftly evolved from a localized issue in China to a worldwide health crisis, impacting nearly every aspect of life globally. Medical students, particularly the Batch 2023 of the College of Medical Laboratory Science at De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute, experienced significant disruptions to their routines, including shifts in hospital and laboratory activities, notably affecting their internship experiences. A descriptive quantitative research design was used along with the utilization of a controlled quota sampling technique to fulfill the objective of the study. The study comprised a total of 104 participants from the target population. Data were collected through Google Forms and underwent statistical analysis. After the conducted survey, it is concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the development of laboratory skills among interns at the College of Medical Laboratory Science. Future researchers are encouraged to broaden the study's scope by incorporating a diverse respondents of Medical Laboratory Science interns from different institutions. By including a variety of perspectives and contexts, researchers can uncover valuable insights that contribute to the enhancement of internship programs and educational practices in the field.
