Meanwhile, the priority of the registration and application shall be given to the following people:

  1. Applicants who belong in the minority sector;
  2. Those who reside in indigenous communities and in GIDA which are certified and validated by government agencies; and
  3. Children and/or dependents of soldiers and police who passed while on duty or fatally wounded who have been victims of calamities.
  4. Applicants who are government employee dependents , traditional birth attendants (TBAs), and Barangay Health Workers.

What is the process of applying for the DOH medical scholarship?

  1. Applicants can apply directly to the school of choice (needs to be a DOH partner school). The partner school must be within the region or close to the province or region of residence.
  2. The applicants must undergo the selection and screening process. This would depend on the admission process of the partner school’s program.
  3. After the screening, the partner school will then endorse the scholarship applicants to the Department of Health Regional Office (DOH RO) in the region where the school is. They will evaluate and validate the application;
  4. The RO will then endorse the results of the validation, together with the recommendation, to the Health Human Resources Development Bureau (HHRDB) for the recommendation and approval to the pre-service scholarship committee.
  5. Once the HHRDB approves it, they will endorse it to the accepted and approved list of scholars to their ROs for them to be able to coordinate to the schools to allow and facilitate the enrolment.
  6. The partner school will now settle the scholarship and will notify the applicants on the status of their enrollment and application.
  7. Accepted scholars shall be enrolled accordingly and properly and the partner school must submit the list of scholars that are enrolled to both the scholarship coordinator and their respective DOH ROs.
  8. Lastly, the RO must then endorse this list of scholars to the HHRDB for the Department Personnel Order (DPO) issuance.

    If the applicant graduated with a degree in Med. Lab Science and about to finish her Master’s, can she still pursue Medicine?
    Why is this not offered in CAR particularly SLU school of Med? It is much nearer to IPs in this region…
