The BS Health Sciences
program is designed for future health professionals and
physicians who aspire to continue their training at the
Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health (ASMPH).
The program requires a
total of 162 academic units. The Core Curriculum
provides a foundation for using the multi-disciplinary
approach in the study of health. This approach is
further deepened through relevant course offerings in
the social sciences and management. The courses have
been arranged in a sequential manner to enable to
student to appreciate the disciplines as they relate to
each other in the context of health.
The program also draws
strength from its close coordination with the Health
Unit of the Ateneo Graduate School of Business,
The Leaders for Health Program and The Medical
City.
All the
offerings in the undergraduate college years and the
M&PH phase will revolve around three main areas:
 |
Medicine and the
Individual – which refers to Clinical
Medicine training |
|
|
Medicine and Population
– which refers to the Public Health components
of health and communities |
|
|
Medicine and Society
– which refers to the application of other
disciplines in the Social Sciences, Humanities
and Management to the area of health.
If at some point the student decides not to
become a physician, the program has been
designed to provide the necessary training for a
graduate to pursue a career in the heath sector
other than being a physician. |
