In general, the Graduate School education consists of lectures, experimentation and case works. The primary
aim of the Graduate School is to nurture creative teachers and scholars with a comprehension of methodology,
an emphasis on medical ethics and Gospel principles, along with the fostering of a humanized approach to
leadership in the fields of medical, nursing and public health specialities. In order to achieve that objective, the
curriculum places special importance on the cultivation of competence and human development so that students
will understand the importance of using their God-given talents for the betterment of human life through the
laborious devotion to the disciplines of their own choice.
