Abstract

The Health Sciences Division, aligned with the theme “A Progressive Philippines Anchored on Science: Building a Culture of Science in the Philippines,” selected key topics and expert speakers as follows: 1) Curriculum of the Medical School by Dr. Ramon Arcadio, Chancellor, UP Manila, 2) Evidence-Based Medicine by Dr. Domingo Bongala from the Philippine College of Surgeons, 3) The Curious Phenomenon of Doctors Going into Nursing by Acd. Jaime C. Montoya, Executive Director of the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development. For the third topic, I stepped in for Acd. Montoya, who had to attend to an urgent matter elsewhere.
