Medical Education System in Philippines: Philippines is considered as one of the finest in medical education especially as cost of pursuing Medical education is much lower than other countries like USA, Australia, China, etc. It provides the perfect amalgamation of theoretical & practical education making it a preferred choice for International students. Universities like AMA School of Medicine, Our Lady of Fatima University, University of Perpetual Help, Davao Medical School of Foundation are few of the Premier Medical Universities for International students from Southeast and South Asian countries like India and more.
Growing Private Universities: Both Private and Public Sector in Philippines have been engaging in increasing the influx of the foreign (international) students and greatly differ in the course fee and course structure. Moreover, Shortage in the Primary Healthcare workers to population which is 25/10,000 is also driving the Private Medical Education Sector to rapidly grow.
Private vs Public Medical Institutions: Every student has to clear basic entrance level exam along with certain 10+2 requirements to enter the medical science field and become a general physician which are available in both public and private universities. Bachelor in Science is an essential Degree to purse MD in Philippines which collectively makes the Bachelors for Physician for 5 Years. Private Sector focuses more on the MD Courses. However, Medical aspirants are more attracted towards public universities while pursuing a specialized course since most specialized courses are offered only in the public universities. Overall, from common cold to performing complex surgeries medical universities in Philippines have a great spectrum of courses.
COVID Impact on Medical Colleges: Covid-19 has impacted the medical education temporarily. Pandemic forced medical schools in the Philippines to stop face-to-face learning activities and abruptly shift to an online curriculum. Many colleges faced difficulty in conducting final year exams which has affected the total toll of graduates in 2020. There has been a decline in the Intake number when compared to the last 5 years. Experts believe that the drop in the numbers is temporary and the system will revive completely in the future.
