The nation's state university opened its medical school in 1907 with the objective of leading and excelling in medical education, research and service focused on the community---especially the underserved. The school, which has 21 departments under its college of medicine, offers two entry points: Learning Unit I, which is the pre-medical course and admits approximately 40 applicants annually; and Learning Unit III, which is medicine proper, lasting five years. The university requires applicants to the medicine proper program to have a valid National Medical Admission Test (NMAT) score not lower than the 90th percentile. Aside from the two programs, the state university has a post-graduate Institute of Medicine that focuses on continuing education and competency development among medical practitioners to ensure quality medical and health care service.
