Top Medical Schools in the Philippines according to board exam passing rates

hese days, health-related courses are one of the most considered and populated fields of study in the tertiary level.  We chose five in-demand health studies, namely, Medicine, Nursing, Occupational Therapy (OT), Physical Therapy (OT) and Pharmacy.

As it was with the Engineering courses, we applied the same method to come up with the over-all top schools in the health department.  We did apply a limit though.  We have only considered those schools that topped in any two of the mentioned health-related courses.  Take the case of Saint Jude College-Manila.  Although it is among the top schools for PT based on our top 10 listings for each field, it has not top in any other health-related course.  With that, such school was not considered for the over-all ranking.

Please note that there are just actually two schools offering all five courses and topped them too.  These are the University of the Philippines-Manila and the University of Santo Tomas.  If a school does not offer the course, we indicated it.  In the case of Velez College, we did not find an official website; hence, we simply ticked “no representative” under those courses were the said school is not among the performing schools.
