About
Part of the fulfillment of USeP’s thrust as indicated in the Batas Pambansa Bilang 12 is to provide programs of instruction and professional training primarily in the fields of science and technology, especially in the field of medicine. With this commitment, USeP planned to put up a state-run medical school in the Region XI in 2015 to fulfill the country’s need of medical doctors.
Through the Republic Act (RA) 11509, also known as the Doktor Para sa Bayan Act, which aims to establish a Medical Scholarship and Return Service (MSRS) program for deserving students in state universities and colleges (SUCs), the vow became a commitment. The commitment was translated into plans as the administration included the offering of Doctor of Medicine program in its Catch-UP Plan.
As such, the School of Medicine was established with these goals:
- to address shortage of doctors in the Philippines, specifically in Region XI;
- to develop professional physicians for the Philippine healthcare system that are at par with their ASEAN counterparts;
- to provide affordable medical education to accommodate low income but deserving students in Region XI;
- to produce professional physicians to the community equipped with community-based approach; and
- To produce globally competitive medical researchers.
Ultimately, the goal of School of Medicine is to produce “medical doctors from and for the community”.
