Office of Continuing Medical Education: UST

In line with the concept of medical education as a continuous and life-long process and in keeping with its tradition and mission, the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery has pioneered in providing medical educational programs, facilities and services to the graduate physicians.

Initially, the program consisted of postgraduate courses of various medical facilities, clinical grand rounds, conferences and special lectures that were open to all medical practitioners. In 1971, in a year-long celebration of the centennial of its foundation, the Faculty organized monthly postgraduate courses, each course undertaken by a different department or discipline. It was also in this year that the UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery started its pioneering project of presenting graduate courses outside the medical school, with the holding of the “three days of the cardiology” program in eleven key cities and towns within a seven-month period.

In 1979, the Office of Continuing Medical Education was created to coordinate and supervise all efforts, plans and programs of the different departments in continuing medical education and to attend to all their official needs in these activities. It was also tasked to initiate more activities for continuing medical education. In addition, the goals and thrust of theUniversity of Santo Tomas, in general, and the Office of the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, in particular, must be filtered in to the CME Office into the various departments. Postgraduate courses, though given and conceptualized by different departments, will have a distinctly Thomasian spirit. Presently, the CME has given emphasis on the integration of bioethical considerations and the Thomasian school of thought in the course content of each and every postgraduate program.

The current Office of Continuing Medical Education has personalized its activities. It has set guidelines that establish standards of excellence for all the postgraduate courses in the Faculty. It is a centralized unit that provides all the needs of the departments relating to continuing medical education activities.

University of Santo Tomas - Anatomy Gallery

The Anatomy Gallery was formally established in September 1983 through the initiative of the Office of the Dean of the UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery and through the efforts of Dr. Consuelo O. Cabral, the Anatomy Department Chair at that time and Dr. Benedicto Rivera, Chief of Section of Gross Anatomy. It was initially founded with endowment from the UST Medical School Alumni Foundation (Los Angeles) and has been incorporated into the Department of Anatomy because of its unique teaching value. It is situated on the fourth floor of the Medicine Building at one end of the Anatomy Dissection Hall.

The Anatomy Gallery serves as a showcase of all the teaching materials in Anatomy. The Gross Anatomy display consists of a total of 32 containers made of thick imported glass of varying dimensions, the largest big enough to accommodate an entire trunk of the human body. Some are tall enough to contain an entire human extremity.

Within the glass containers are preserved dissected organs of the human body arranged according to systems. Of interest are the displays of the dissected upper and lower extremities showing the muscles and related neurovascular structures, cross sections of the human trunk at various levels showing the various visceral organs in situ with their anatomic relations.

The embryology display consists of fetuses in different ages of gestation. Likewise, fetuses with congenital anomalies like cleft lip, cleft palate and anencephaly are shown. The Neuroanatomy display shows the brain in different views. Likewise, midsagittal coronal and longitudinal section provides the viewer with a more intimate understanding of the intricate structure of the human brain. A gross specimen of the entire spinal cord with spinal nerves in situ (donated by Prof. Shigeyuki Deura) is another interesting feature of the gallery.

On March 2006, through the generosity of Dr. Prem Manchanda and the dedication of the Anatomy Staff, the renovation of the gallery was begun and formally inaugurated and blessed on April 24, 2006. It was renamed Dr. Julieta Hayag-Manchanda UST Anatomy Gallery, a 1983 UST MD alumna the deceased spouse of the benefactor.

The gallery in its entirety gives the viewer a realistic perspective of the human organs and their intimate relationship with other organs and systems. All of the organs with appropriate markers provide a useful guide for the student of Anatomy. The uniqueness of this anatomy display (the only one in the Philippines) certainly surpasses any other attempt at plastic limitations of the human anatomy.

University of Santo Tomas Nursing implements first automated student council elections

THOMASIANS could now probably count on a fast and more accurate election in the coming years.

ImageThe Central Commission on Elections (Comelec) implemented the first automated, synchronized elections last Feb. 17 at the College of Nursing (Nursing) to make the elections faster and to lessen the burden of manually counting the ballots.

“Before, students would have to wait for at least a day to know the election results. Now that the automated elections are implemented, the on-line results could be viewed in minutes after the poll closed,” Nursing Comelec chairman Mark Magallones said.

Magallones said the use of computers during elections was long overdue. The Comelec had been requesting for an automated poll even before the 2006 elections.

Magallones assured the students that the automated poll would strengthen the credibility of elections in the University.

“Contrary to what other people were saying, the Comelec did not encounter any problems of hacking or power failure during the elections,” he said. “I do not think that the system can be hacked since if it is possible, then our grades can also be hacked.”

The Central Comelec has released the guidelines for the implementation of a computerized election in the different colleges and faculties next year.

According to the Central Comelec, each college and faculty should write a letter to the Comelec requesting that the election be conducted online via the Universitiy's Blackboard Learning Management System.

Automated elections orientation and training would also be given by e-LEAP community portal coordinators to the members of the local Comelec. LEONARD JAMES D. POSTRADO
