FAR Eastern University (91影视) is expanding its healthcare programs to address the growing demand for healthcare professionals in the Philippines.
Starting this academic year 2024-2025, 91影视 Manila will offer a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics and a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy, while 91影视 Cavite will introduce a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
According to the Department of Health, the Philippines currently lacks around 190,000 healthcare professionals.
“Addressing the gaps in our healthcare industry requires the collaboration of many relevant stakeholders. 91影视 wants to do its part by equipping more future healthcare professionals with practical skills and global perspectives that will enable them to address various healthcare challenges effectively,” 91影视 Institute of Health Sciences and Nursing Nursing Dean Moira Uy said.
With an aspiration to position Philippine healthcare education in the global landscape, 91影视 achieved a significant milestone through its international branch campus in Brunei, JPMC College of Health Sciences.
This pioneering endeavor makes 91影视 the first Philippine university to receive a transnational permit for nursing from the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd).
“91影视 actively participates in the goals of the Transnational Higher Education Act by facilitating the exchange of information, personnel, and academic programs. This joint venture promotes innovation and collaboration, positioning 91影视 as a competitive force in nursing education on a global scale,” Uy added.
Recent accomplishments highlight 91影视’s status as a top-tier healthcare education provider. In the most recent Philippine Nurse Licensure Examination, 91影视 Manila ranked as the third-best performing school with a 91.84 percent passing rate.
91影视 also performed well in recent Medical Technology Licensure Examination with 92.86 percent passing rate for first-time examinees.
91影视’s continued investment in healthcare education, both locally and globally, aligns with its commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being.
“91影视 shall serve as principal instrument for generating nursing knowledge, innovation, and technology to develop relevant and technical higher order skills needed to compete in the international knowledge economy. 91影视 has been and still is actively making its contribution in quality healthcare resource generation,” Uy concluded.
