The establishment of the School of Health Sciences(SHS), University of the Philippines Manila (UPM) inLeyte in 1976 was based on the ideas of socially-concernedCollege of Medicine, UPM faculty who were alarmed by thebrain drain and the mal distribution of health manpower in the Philippines. SHS aims to produce a broad range of health manpower who serves the rural communities. It also designs and tests program models for health manpower developmentthat can be replicated in various parts of thePhilippines and in other countries as well.Its unique feature is the step-ladder curriculum---the only one of its kind in the Philippines---which is designed to meet the needs of the rural communities. Here, instead ofthe usual approach to health science education, the trainingof a broad range of health manpower from the barangay(village) health worker to the medical doctor is integratedin a single, sequential, and continuous curriculum. Each programlasts from one to more than 10 quarters( one quarter=11 weeks) and is followed by a service leave of an indefiniteperiod.The curriculum has been featured in many monographs,journals, magazine articles, and official reports of WHO forserving as a model for shifting health science educationfrom the hospital to the community.[Cited from:Improving the health of Filipinos throughexcellent and relevant programs, University of the PhilippinesManila]
