based on the scientific truth,
possess psychomotor skill
required to perform competencies
of a medical graduate and
demonstrate benevolent, compassionate
and empathetic behavior expected

During the period that one

of study, one must be exposed
to suitable learning experiences
in a congenial environment
with modern technologies for
understanding the subject
matters and also be aware
of doing research, an essential
part of the medical profession,
that contributes to the growth
of scientific knowledge. Upon
the achievement of quality
education augmented with the
elementary know-how on research,
the medical graduate becomes
