agreement with HCMI President, Mr. Singh, to promote
the University’s Medical Programmes. |
The centerpiece of the UERM Memorial Medical Center
is the College of Medicine. From the time the UERM
College of Medicine produced its first graduates,
it immediately established itself as one of the finest
medical schools in the country. Soon, it was acknowledged
as one of the best three schools of medicine, mentioned
in the same breath as University of the Philippines
and University of Santo Tomas.
All the Medicine graduates of 1996 passed the Medical
Licensure Examination given last February 1997. The
Professional Regulation Commission awarded the Center
a plaque in recognition of the feat, the fifth time
for the center since 1993. |
The College of Medicine
provides a solid foundation for world-class medical
education. |
| The College
of Medicine offers more than the usual and conventional
medical curriculum, giving its students a more solid
foundation in the study of medicine. Creativity has
always been a hallmark of the Center. It has enriched
medical education through its integrated approach
to the teaching of psychiatry and neuroscience; effective
teaching methods to produce more appropriate physicians
for the country, some of which were adopted by other
medical schools.
The College of Medicine periodically reviews and
upgrades its curriculum by instituting general changes
such as the implementation of the core curriculum,
granting of the M.D. degree after the Fourth year;
upgrading of selected subjects; teaching by objectives;
role-based curriculum and competencies; and integration
of Primary Health Care in the curriculum.

as well as in keeping with international trends. It
places more emphasis on science and art in the teaching
of all courses, in order to produce graduates who
shall internalize science and art and use them as
the bases of medical practice. The curricular structure
was made more flexible, allowing the student to participate
in directing his learning and providing him adequate
time for self-study and greater exposure to non-hospital
settings of training.
