Aspiring doctors in Eastern Samar are a step closer to reaching their dreams.
Aspiring doctors in Eastern Samar are a step closer to reaching their dreams as the Commission on Higher Education approved the Samar State University’s application for government authority to operate a medical degree program.With this, SSU now offers a Doctor of Medicine program at its Samar Island Institute of Medicine — the 20th public university in the Philippines that offers a medical program for underprivileged students.
CHED said that the University of the Philippines School of Health Sciences in Palo, Leyte has a medical program using a “ladderized system” but it does not allow direct enrollment of students and its learners are scholars of local governments. SSU President Marilyn Cardoso expressed gratitude for the approval of their medical program, saying that it “represents a significant milestone” in their university’s history.
