The UNP-College of Medicine rises to face future academic challenges as it aspires to offer graduate programs in public health and administration. Dr. Pablo Quedado, Dean, COM and the UNP team visited the prestigious UP College of Public Health last January 31, 2025, to explore the opportunities for this novel endeavor.

Initial talks on faculty resources and curricular programs, among others, were tackled amidst the overwhelming accommodation by the UP College of Public Health. Dean Fernando Garcia, (UP-CPH) emphasized their commitment to their mandate to deliver public service through the capacitation of public health leaders hence their positive engagement with various inter-agency collaboration.

Joining Dr. Quedado in the benchmarking activity were Dr. Dominetta Gonzalo Assistant Dean- UNP COM, Dr. Irwina Lazo, Curriculum Chairman, Ms. Dona Acelador, COM Librarian, and Ms. Krizza Rosette Cadorna, Private Secretary, OP.
