The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) declared the Far Eastern University Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation as “the only top performing school,” when it announced the results of the Medical Technology Licensure Board Examination of March 2006. Of the 115 out of the 134 FEU-NRMF graduates who took that test, 115 (86%) passed. The national passing rate was 46% for that particular examination.
The PRC also sent a congratulatory message to FEU-NRMF and its recent graduate, Kristian E. Marollano, who placed 8 th on the board exam. FEU-NRMF was also complimented when the Chairman of its Department of Surgery, Dr. Kim Shi Tan, was bestowed the PMA Presidential Award in Modern Medicine in the field of Laparoscopy, for being pioneer in this specialty procedure.
Another honor for FEU-NRMF was the acceptance and presentation at the European Society of Paediatric Infectious Diseases in Basel, Switzerland, on May 3-5, 2006, of the research paper of Mrs. Magdalena Natividad, RMT, MSPH, Director of the FEU-NRMF School of Medical Technology. This was also published in the May 28, 2006 issue of the Manila Bulletin.
The FEU-NRMF Medical Center has 300 beds, 99 of which are for the charity service.
