How can individuals appeal the results of the licensure examinations?

The process for individuals to appeal the results of the licensure examinations, as outlined in Republic Act (RA) 5527, specifies that a written petition must be submitted to the Board within a designated time frame. This is a structured approach that ensures appeals are handled systematically and allows the Board to review the matter formally.

This method establishes a clear protocol for grievances, ensuring that all appeals are documented and considered in a timely manner. By requiring a written petition, the Board can maintain accurate records, which are essential for accountability and transparency in the examination process. The specified time frame also emphasizes the importance of expediency in addressing potential disputes regarding examination results.

The other options suggest routes that are not formally recognized under the guidelines established by the Medical Technology Act, such as oral hearings or appeals directly to higher authorities, which bypass the designated administrative process.
