The Progressive Route for Innovative Studies in Medicine (PRISM): An Accelerated Pathway for Medicine (APMed) is FEU-NRMF's cutting-edge accelerated medicine program designed to provide eligible Senior High School graduates with a fast-tracked yet comprehensive medical education. PRISM is aimed at cultivating future medical professionals by allowing them to enter medical school earlier and complete their training in a reduced timeframe without compromising the quality and depth of their education (7-year straight program for medicine).

PRISM integrates advanced coursework, innovative teaching methodologies, and early exposure to clinical practice, preparing students to excel in the dynamic and demanding field of medicine.

  • Accelerated Curriculum: The PRISM program reduces the standard timeframe for medical education by streamlining the pre-medical and medical coursework, allowing students to transition smoothly from foundational studies to clinical training.

  • Innovative Learning Approaches: PRISM leverages cutting-edge teaching techniques such as outcome-based learning, simulations, and digital platforms to enhance students' critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and decision-making skills.

  • Holistic Student Development: In addition to medical training, PRISM emphasizes the development of leadership, communication, and ethical decision-making, ensuring graduates are well-rounded professionals prepared for the complexities of modern healthcare.

  • Early Clinical Exposure: From the onset, students in PRISM are introduced to clinical environments, giving them hands-on experience with patient care, clinical research, and community health initiatives. This early exposure helps to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world medical practice.

  • Supportive Learning Environment: PRISM provides students with a mentorship framework, where faculty members guide them through the accelerated curriculum, offering personalized academic and professional support.
