A Temporary Home for the AUP Medicine Program

 Fact-checking AUP COM Progress Reports - 1
1.  "A proposal was submitted during the term of Dr. Gladden Flores but was returned because the first requirement was a building."
2. "The CHED will not entertain any proposal for a medical program until they inspect the building."


3.  "We are anticipating only one major issue in the visit that they will require a completed building."

4. "We can surely finish the building by February but its present degree of [in]completion is a potential issue."

5.  We presume that this major deficiency is the building."

6.  "But according to the University administration, the 'supposed deficiencies' are all complied with except for the [un]completed building."

AUP COM Update, Feb 2014
Why the delay?

7.  "Another deficiency is the building.  The TPME wants that the offices of the dean and staff are ready, and that all the facilities should be found only in one building."



From the President’s Office
22 March 2014
8.   "AUP was evaluated in 8 areas which are... laboratory facilities... and physical facilities....  With the result of the evaluation, we now see clearly the things that should be done.

In retrospect,
9. "Groundbreaking ceremonies for the college of medicine building had been performed by past administrations... because past administrators were informed that the main requirement for a Doctor of Medicine program were for the university to have a building for the college and the hospital within its premises."

10.  "They were even told by some other medical education experts that AUP does not need to have a completed building to start a medicine program, much more have the school's very own hospital."


11.   "... in June of the following year 2012, AUP filed a revised COM application... The plan was for existing structures of AUP to be used."






12.  Meanwhile, the AUP administration approved that the College of Medicine be used temporarily by other disciplines as offices and classrooms this school year 2014.
