Be A Scholar: Be a Pinoy MD

Entering medical school can be very expensive. This is one of the factors that has helped dwindle the enrollees for the medical schools nationwide. Wanting to address the possible scarcity in medical students and eventually medical doctors, the Department of Health, together with Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, are offering full scholarships to students who are interested to become doctors. Doc Christine, former DTTB and now working in the HHRDB of the DOH, just emailed me about the pinoy MD program of the Department of Health. Perhaps, someone out there might be interested. Here is the entire email about the Pinoy MD Program.
