CHEDRO XIII visits CSU, assesses preparation for School of Medicine

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.

Following the discussion meeting, CHEDRO XIII organized an ocular inspection where the proposed MD program would be implemented. The team, composed of its officials — Dr. Frederic Amihan, Dr. Julia Felisa Martines, and Mr. Everjoy Labadan — visited the smart classrooms and laboratories to assess the facilities, infrastructure, and resources available once the program will be opened.

The next steps include the refinement of the required documents based on the insights gathered during the discussion meeting and ocular inspection. CHEDRO XIII expressed its commitment to work closely with the university in finalizing the necessary processes and ensuring the timely launch of the MD program, contributing to the healthcare workforce and improving medical services for the benefit of the Caraga Region and beyond. jmo/pico
