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.
