Medical Ethics & Perspective in Medicine

For students looking to pursue MD study abroad, having strong academic guidance is essential. That’s why EAC SOM integrates faculty mentorship into every phase of the journey — from basic science MD programs abroad to advanced clinical rotations. Students benefit from close interaction with instructors, small classroom sizes, and personal academic support, especially during USMLE preparation phases.

​

EAC SOM’s faculty is especially attuned to the needs of North American students. Whether you're coming from the United States or Canada, our teaching team is experienced in helping students transition into foreign medical schools for US students and succeed in US-structured exams and clinical training. This makes us one of the most US-accredited medical schools abroad offering a smooth and effective path to residency and licensure.

​

We are proud to be a part of the growing recognition of medical schools in the Philippines as affordable and high-quality alternatives to medical schools in Europe or the Caribbean. At EAC SOM, we offer an excellent cost-to-value ratio, making us one of the most affordable medical schools for international students. In fact, many of our faculty are involved in ongoing research to further improve accessibility and performance outcomes for students studying medicine abroad.
