Both the Cebu Doctors’ University VMG and the 10 program outcomes stated in CHED’s CMO18 aim to produce a well-rounded health care professional through outcome-based education. Through the small group discussions and the problem based learning, we are able to achieve these outcomes. With our student discussions, we are able to practice communication, leadership, teamwork, life long learning or self-improvement, and engaging in research. In out patient-doctor relationship subject, we get a better understanding of clinical competence, systems based approach, social accountability, and how to adhere to ethical, professional, and legal standards. Through serving the community we are in, we achieve nationalism.
I have been in this university since my undergraduate days and I believe these outcomes are well within reach. CDU promotes being a service-oriented individual that is compassionate and dedicated. The teaching and learning methods used here, such as the small group discussions and the independent studies, help me work better with others and with myself. By being consistent and focused, I hope to reach the standards set by the school and CHED.
Problem-based learning and the small group discussions were new to me but I think it’s the best way to be able to attain the outcomes as stipulated by CHED. I am practicing my communication and leadership skills more and more each week. As the journey goes on, my fellow students and I will improve on the other outcomes as well.
I must constantly push myself to interact and work with others since I am quite introverted. Since this year started, I feel more confident is voicing my thoughts and opinions so I think the teaching methods employed here are very effective.
Overall, I find the CDU VMG capable of helping me reach my dream. It’s done a good job of keeping me on track and in line with the program outcomes. In the years to come, I pray I can continue to make my way towards being an effective and caring doctor of medicine.
