Best & Worst Medical Schools in the Philippines, a 3 Year Lateral Analysis

The PRC News Portal collated and analysed the results of the Physician Licensure Examination for 3 years. During the period of August 2012 to February 2015, six (6) examinations have been conducted.

The numbers taken were the aggregate passers of both fresh takers and repeaters. We believe that the composite number do not constitute an issue on the analysis since data of fresh takers only do not reflect the overall performance of a school.
