CHED Chairman Popoy De Vera said that the Commission has increased the number of Higher Education Institutions offering medical programs from eight to 17 over the past year.
RA 11509 or more popularly known as the Doktor Para sa Bayan Law aims to increase the number of doctors who will serve in far-flung areas by establishing a Medical Scholarship and Return Service program for deserving students in SUCs or in partner private HEIs in regions where no SUCs offer a medical course.
“The approval to operate the Doctor of Medicine program in BISU and USTP expands the opportunities for the poor but deserving students through scholarship support under the Doktor Para sa Bayan Act,” De Vera said. As reported by the Technical Panel for Medicine Chairperson Joselito Villaruz, “Based on the Technical Evaluators and Technical Panel for Medicine’s assessment and verification of the applicant SUCs, BISU and USTP have already complied with all the minimum requirements to operate the Doctor of Medicine program.”
