The Caraga State University (CSU) demonstrates a steadfast commitment to the implementation of its Doctor of Medicine Program, evidenced by its earnest engagement in the discussion meeting and ocular inspection facilitated by the Commission on Higher Education Regional Office (CHEDRO) Region XIII. The discussion meeting on December 21, 2023, deliberated the specifics of the proposed MD program. Among many notable discussions, CHEDRO XIII wanted to ensure that the Doctor of Medicine program is aligned with national standards and benchmarks.

The Caraga State University furthers its plans for the realization of the School of Medicine as it formalized a pioneering partnership with the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Barangay Abilan and Gawad Kalinga-Abilan (GK Abilan) through the ceremonial signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) last, October 19, 2023. The momentous event signifies a collaborative effort to provide essential medical and clinical training for the university's School of Medicine program through community engagement.

Following the ceremonial MOA signing held at the House of Representatives, Batasan Hills, Quezon City last September 25, 2023, the Caraga State University (CSU) and the Davao Regional Medical Center (DRMC) legalized their collaboration through the official signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) last October 10, 2023. This designates DRMC as the training hospital for future medical students of CSU's proposed School of Medicine.
