COLLEGE OF MEDICINE

Doctor of Medicine is a multidisciplinary field that involves basic sciences, clinical courses, clinical immersion, and exposure to the different departments of the base hospital within the community. The medical program utilizes a Traditional Integrated Outcomes-based Curriculum with close collaboration with the local community to prepare the students in providing quality service as they attend to the needs of the people within the community.

Medical doctors need exposure to actual cases, problems, and challenges that are commonly encountered in hospitals and local healthcare units in order for them to address and contribute to improving the quality of medical service rendered to the community. Case-based approach to learning is utilized wherein lectures start with a “trigger case” (clinical case) to stimulate interest in a particular subject matter followed by integration of relevant basic science and clinical science. Teaching methods also include problem-based learning where students will have a formal presentation to demonstrate the ties between clinical findings and basic science explanations. The Community provides an excellent teaching and learning experience where the students develop effective communication skills, enhance their knowledge and skills on the health status of the families and the community, and become experts in providing health care and education. Family and Community Medicine will supervise the Community Program. WU-P COM will have a close collaboration with the City Council of Cabanatuan and Barangay Officials to identify underserved communities where immersion will take place to serve the community. The integration of medical research into the curriculum will enable future professionals to look for innovative ways to improve medical education and patient care, in order to best serve our communities.

As future front liners in the delivery of quality health service and health education to the Filipino people, the students’ technical and soft skills will be developed by the program. These constitute Christian values, academic excellence, innovation, community focus, professionalism, and accountability.

The Doctor of Ministry degree program is designed to provide advanced training in the practice of biblically and theologically oriented ministry to those actively involved in vocational ministry. The program concentrates on developing expertise in the biblical rationale, sociological strategy, and practical implementation of ministry.

Program Description

The Doctor of Ministry (D. Min.) is an advanced professional degree program designed to enhance qualitatively the professional comprehension and competence of ministerial leaders. The degree program is appropriate for pastors, para-church leaders, ministry leaders, educators, and mission leaders.

The purpose of the D. Min. degree is to provide that level of knowledge, theoretical clarity, and competence of practice commensurate with the highest earned degree for the profession and practice of ministry. The program seeks the integration of a disciplined reflective practice of ministry with a theological and biblical base that includes both high academic standards and practical implementation.

The goals of this program are to enable students: to become aware of new trends and literature in their vocation; to be challenged and encouraged through dialogue with fellow professionals; to demonstrate enhanced competency in social/cultural analysis for ministry in their context; and to design projects that meet the needs of their constituents in a more effective manner. Although the D. Min. is not designed as simply a research degree, in recent years many seminary educators have chosen the D. Min. degree to enhance their ability to provide training relevant to practical issues in Christian Ministry.

Program Goals

The Doctor of Ministry degree provides advanced study for:

  • the personal, spiritual, and professional development of the Church ministry in a variety of contemporary contexts.
  • enhancing identified ministerial skills such as preaching, leadership, administration, counseling, spiritual formation, educational programming, and communication.
  •   demonstrating advanced understanding and integration of ministry in relation to biblical and theological disciplines.
  • preparing pastor to research, design, and complete a doctoral-level ministry research project for one’s ministry context.
  • contributing to the practice of ministry for local church in a specific cultural context.
