Gullas College of Medicine (GCM) recently had the honor of hosting the 12th Visayas

Regional Assembly of the Association of Philippine Medical Colleges (APMC), a

watershed moment in regional medical education. The first day began with an

inauguration ceremony in the campus auditorium, followed by a series of interactive

activities intended at encouraging collaboration and knowledge exchange among

students, faculty, and staff from other medical schools.

During the event, participants were given the chance to demonstrate their talents and

expertise in regional healthcare innovation, medical student research, and

interscholastic discussion. These activities allowed attendees to connect, compete, and

learn from one another, increasing their educational experience.

The day's highlight was a lively discussion in which medical students from their separate

institutions competed on a variety of medical themes, bringing diverse perspectives and

answers to pressing healthcare concerns.

On day two, GCM served as the host location for the first half of the assembly. The day

began with the much-anticipated Regional Quiz Bee, in which students exhibited their

knowledge and skills in a vibrant competition setting. Concurrently, another event, the

Regional Interscholastic Debate, allowed student debaters to engage in intelligent

conversations about current medical issues, improving their communication abilities.

Following these activities, participants engaged in a focused session on the Regional

Pathologic Case Conference, where they examined clinical cases under the supervision

of medical professionals. This part enabled in-depth discussions and knowledge

sharing, which enhanced the learning experience for all attendees.

As the on-campus activities completed, the assembly moved to a new location for the

rest of the three-day event, which was hosted by another medical school. The joint

efforts and passion shown throughout the assembly demonstrated GCM and

participating schools' commitment to furthering medical education and fostering

cooperation in the Visayas region.
