Curriculum
The MD program is consistent with the vision and mission of the institution. It adopts a subject based curriculum aligned with the outcomes mandated by CHED. It is delivered through a hybrid type of teaching methodology. The curriculum is an integration of student-centered and educator-guided learning approach set in a collaborative learning environment. Students and teachers work together in active and experiential learning to enhance intellectual link between classroom and patient care. Active learning strategy becomes the core of the curricular delivery.
Each student also has a personal mentor who serves many roles. The mentors provide a truly holistic student-centered support that focuses on personal and professional development. The students are accompanied in their journey from a becoming a learner to a healer.
The curriculum is structured in four levels. After graduation, the graduates take a one-year internship in accredited teaching hospitals prior to taking the licensure exam.
Year level 1 and 2 comprise the foundation of the educational program which presents basic medical science information in a clinically and community relevant context. In addition to basic medical sciences, there are clinical science subjects added in Year level 2. Year level 3 continues with more clinical specialty courses in tandem with pre clerkship program where students participate in supervised patient care while rotating through various medical specialties. Year level 4 allows our clinical clerks in the clinical clerkship program to go on full time clinical activities during their rotation to different departments. Students graduate at the end of 4th year. In this set up, students and teachers work together and collaborate with each other.
Program Goal
The MD program aims to produce medical graduates from diverse backgrounds who epitomize the roles of a 5 star physician which are health care provider, leader/manager, researcher, teacher and social mobilizer.
