Help public HEIs: Sen. Joel Villanueva urges the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) to prioritize public higher education institutions (HEIs) that are considered centers of excellence or development in areas relevant to medicine in establishing public medical schools. Villanueva noted that eight out of 10 regions that do not have medical schools have public HEIs that are centers of excellence in health professions education. “We just want the commitment of CHED that we will prioritize these SUCs to enable them to offer medical program,” Villanueva said during the virtual hearing of the Committee on Finance Subcommittee D Monday, September 21, 2020.
