GENERAL INFORMATION

THE FOUNDATION HISTORY

Dr. Nicanor Reyes Sr., founder and first president of FEU, dreamt of an
Institute of Medicine in line with his vision of building up FEU, already a
pioneer in progressive non-sectarian education, into a school dedicated
to help in the nation-building in as many areas of service as possible. In
1952, the Institute of Medicine was established, a medical school staffed
by some of the most prominent names in Philippine medicine.

The Institute of Medicine occupied the 3rd to the 7th Floor of the Science
Building of the university from 1952 to 1983. The hospital construction
was completed and became operational on October 22, 1955. In 1962,
the Institute started another branch of training in health science when it
admitted the first batch of students in the School of Medical Technology.

On August 7, 1970 the Board of Trustees, upon ratification by its

stockholders, announced the conversion of the Institute of Medicine,
School of Medical Technology, and the hospital into a non-stock, non-
profit educational foundation, now known as the Far Eastern University-
Dr. Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation.

In 1983, the FEU-NRMF transferred into two buildings purchased from

the university. To address the exigency for a more comprehensive and
relevant health care system, the Board of Trustees approved a resolution
on March 21, 1994 for the approval of a course leading to a degree of
Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy. Due to a need for expansion, the
Board of Trustees approved the relocation of FEU-NRMF to a 1.5 hectare
lot in Quezon City in 1995. The Institute of Medicine and the hospital
presently known as the FEU-NRMF Medical Center, transferred in 1999
to a healthy, safe and peaceful environment for education and medical
care in West Fairview, Quezon City.

The Commission on Higher Education conferred the singular privilege of

DEREGULATED STATUS to FEU-NRMF from Oct. 22, 2001 to Oct. 21,
2006 for its meritorious achievement in higher education in the
provision of instruction and in the conduct of research and community
extension services, for high performance of graduates in licensure
examinations, and for maintaining a tradition of integrity and an
untarnished reputation in the educational service.

With the increasing demands for the health profession, the FEU-NRMF
School of Nursing was established on May 2003, followed by the School
of Respiratory Therapy in 2007.

As part of its expansion efforts, the institute has been upgrading its
training facilities, hence, the construction of the Josephine Cojuangco
Reyes (JCR) Building in 2010, which presently houses the gymnasium,
swimming pool, fitness gym and additional classrooms.

On September 30, 2011, Mr. Nicanor C. Reyes III, was installed as the
new Chairman of the Board of Trustees. Continuing on with the legacy of
the founders, Chairman Reyes’ vision of bringing FEU-NRMF to new
heights was evident with the groundbreaking ceremony for a
construction of a 22-storey tower on July 26, 2012. This will answer the
growing need for classrooms, lecture halls, library expansion, and other
facilities for school activities. Beginning 1st semester SY 2016-2017, the
NR Tower has been in full use.

The Organizational change was also instituted. Atty. Antonio H. Abad, Jr.
was appointed as the President of FEU-NRMF on April 15, 2013. The
Academic community was likewise reorganized having Deans of the
eight program offerings under the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Three new programs are added namely BS Pharmacy, BS Nutrition and
Dietetics, BS Radiologic Technology, with CHED permission to operate
starting SY 2013-2014.

Challenges continue to confront all learning institutions brought about

by the changing landscape of the Philippine Educational System and the
demand for globalization. In the year 2015, FEU-NRMF redefined itself
and the new vision and mission was crafted. FEU-NRMF envisions itself
to be a world-class academic and training institution providing excellent
healthcare services. It is our mission to commit ourselves to develop
competent and compassionate professionals adhering to the highest
level of global standards in healthcare, education and research.
FEU-NRMF is a member of the Philippine Association of Colleges and
Universities. The School of Medicine is accredited by the Philippine
Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU)
and the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines (FAAP).
Level II Reaccreditation Status was granted to the Medicine Program in
2018. Likewise, the Medical Technology, Physical Therapy and Nursing
programs are accredited by PACUCOA. The FEU-NRMF Institutional
Ethics Review Committee had its accreditation renewed as PHREB Level
3 Research Ethics Committee (REC) by the Philippine Health Research
Ethics Board (PHREB) effective November 9, 2017 to November 8, 2021.
The Forum for Ethical Review Committees in the Asian and Western
Pacific Region (FERCAP) also awarded the Renewal of Recognition to the
FEU-NRMF IERC.

From the first batch of graduates, FEU-NRMF has consistently

maintained a percentage passing rate well above the national passing
level and has placed in the top ten positions of the government licensure
examinations in all courses. In addition, graduates of the Foundation
have worked their way to important staff, research and teaching
positions, not only in the Institute, but in other medical establishments
in the country and abroad.

In February 2014, the Board approved and resolute the intention of FEU-
NRMF to operate a SHS program beginning SY 2016-2017, for the
duration of the transition period until SY 2021-2022, to offer Academic
Track, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)
Strand of the SHS curriculum. On September 30, 2015, the Department of
Education approved its application to offer the Senior High School
Program in SY 2016-2017.

As far as community engagement, in 2015, FEU-NRMF partnered with

West Fairview Elementary School for both curricular and co-curricular
activities related to community.

Sanction may be one day up to three days make-up for each day absent,
depending if reason is valid or not.

MAKE-UP FOR ABSENCES/DEFICIENCIES

In year level I to III, classes missed due to absences are difficult to make
up. The student may be allowed to enter the lecture / laboratory session
of another section, but if the topic has already been covered, the student
must rely on classmates’ notes and manuals. Please see examination
protocol for make-up of missed evaluations.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE
A student applying for a Leave of Absence (LOA) should have a valid
reason like sickness (supported by a medical certificate), immigration
requirement or financial / family problem. A letter requesting for a LOA
must be presented to the Year Level Coordinator then to the Guidance or
Student Personnel Services Officer for endorsement and finally to the
Dean for approval. Once approved, it must be submitted to the Registrar.

A student may be given for a maximum of one-year leave. The student

may be given a validation examination or an academic audit if the leave
is extended beyond one year. If the student passes the validation
examination, he / she is allowed to enroll in the appropriate year level. If
the student fails, he / she shall take a refresher course.

A leave can only be granted twice during the course of study. Beyond
this, the student will be given an honorable dismissal. Student with
unauthorized leave or who fails to enroll for two semesters will be for
honorable dismissal.

TRANSFER
A Transfer Credential Certificate (TCC) is required for a student to
transfer to another school. The TCC is a formal order and authorization
made by the student to forward his / her record to another school where
he/ she plans to transfer. Once the TCC has been acknowledged and
received by the accepting school, the Foundation terminates its
authority to further issuance of the student’s records without written
consent of the new school.
The TCC will be signed by the Registrar upon application for transfer by
any student in good standing, not subject to discipline, and whose
records are complete and in order.

EXAMINATION PROTOCOL
Students are evaluated in various types of written examinations: quiz,
minor examinations (plating, shifting, and unit) and major examinations

bulletin board at least one week prior to the testing period.

The Dean schedules the major examinations. Requests for change and
reports of conflict in schedule must be coursed through the Subject
Coordinator, Department Chairman and endorsed to the Dean.

Students are expected to be on time at the room assigned. Late arrival

submitted the examination will not be given an examination paper. For
major examinations, students who arrive more than 30 minutes late will
not be given an examination paper and must write a letter of explanation
for the tardiness to the Dean.

Students are not allowed to use electronic devices during the conduct of
any examination. Cell phones must be turned off. During major
examinations, only writing materials are allowed on the desk. Personal
belongings must fit under the chair or be placed at the back of the room.

blue or black ink only. Pencils, erasable ink, ink eraser, correction tape
or fluid must NOT be used. Any suspicions of cheating will be reported
immediately to the Subject Coordinator or Department Chair.
Questionnaires for all examinations, except removals, will be returned to
the student no later than one week after the examination date. Answer
keys will be posted immediately after the examinations. Students are
allowed to challenge the key within two days after the posting.

Students who miss a major examination may take a completion or make-

up exam if a valid excuse is presented to the Department within one (1)
week of the said examination. The make-up examination can be
scheduled in accordance with the schools’ policy.

The above competencies serve as guidelines for the formulation of the

specific course objectives in each subject syllabus.

Currently, FEU-NRMF uses an online learning management system –

Moodle. All lectures, educational videos, assignments, activities and
examinations are uploaded by faculty to be accessed by the student at
their own time (Asynchronous).

Though the curriculum is traditional, there is a horizontal and vertical

integration of subjects. Year level I and Year level II have a horizontal
subject integration to assure a better learner understanding of the
subject matters.

The curricular subjects are sequenced currently to follow the traditional

framework of the institution in that basic subjects are presented in the
initial two years of training whereas the clinical subjects are taken in the
third year with full clinical exposure during the fourth year. However,
several innovations have been incorporated in an effort to integrate
clinical material earlier, hence, better prepare the learner for clinical
clerkship and facilitate the shift to immersion in hospital- and
community-based care in year level IV. Introduction to Physical
Diagnosis (Year Level 1) is a subject on physical history taking, and
physical diagnosis with emphasis on the normal, healthy individual and
aims to familiarize the learner to findings and clinical data that are
within normal limits and recognition of what deviates from these norms.
These are integrated with basic normal laboratory data which is now
taken up in Physiology. Basic Radiology (normal radiologic images) is
integrated in Human Structural Biology with the same objective in mind.
After learner familiarization of the normal in year level 1, Clinical
Diagnosis in year level 2 introduces the learner to the abnormal. This
subject integrates abnormal physical diagnosis, laboratory diagnosis and
radiology where in the learner is provided the opportunity to formulate
sound clinical impressions given the historical data, findings in physical
examination, and the appropriate diagnostic aids. In year level 3, Clinical
Therapeutics and Nutrition (CTN) is an integration of clinical
therapeutics and applied nutrition. This subject provides the learner the
opportunity to formulate a comprehensive approach to patient care in
simulation of what is actually done in future practice. Give clinical cases,
the learner plans management incorporating both pharmacological,
nutritional and other non-pharmacologic interventions together with
patient education and preventive strategies.

In addition, introduction of other teaching-learning strategies in various

subjects (Year levels 1-3) have been implemented again to better
prepare the learner to the clinical settings. These include small group
discussion and tutorials, role play, lay exhibits, game activities, creation
of short video clips, exposure to ward works, OR-DR and OPD. These
strategies would facilitate acquisition of clinical skills even prior to
clerkship. Some subjects such as CTN also utilize independent work in
achieving the intended learning objectives. Here the learner is tasked to
prepare written case discussions based on specified guidelines and
create corresponding patient educational materials to raise lay
awareness of these disease states and their prevention. While on these
tasks, the learner is not required to report to class and given adequate
time during the semester to accomplish the required output. The learner
consults with faculty at anytime for assistance either on line or in
person. Aside from these current integrations, interdisciplinary and
multidisciplinary approach is further exemplified by the Clinico-
Pathologic Conferences in Year Level 3 which, although under the
facilitation of the Departments of Medicine and Pathology, involves
inputs and participation of consultants under other specialties
depending on the chosen case to be discussed. Aside from emphasis on a
comprehensive approach to treatment, such a strategy impresses on the
learner the health system based approach to health care and the value of
interprofessional collaboration. These small group activities and other
non-didactic strategies not only provide more in-depth study of clinical
cases, but provide varied teaching-learning activities that foster adult
learning and more active student engagement. They provide more
teaching-learning opportunities in the affective domain.

To emphasize on importance of research, the curriculum now presents

this as an independent subject offered as 1 semester in Year Level I and
two semesters in year level 2. In Year Level I, the learner is introduced to
research methodology. In research A in 2ndyear the learner should
develop relevant research protocol. Research B is when the learners
accomplishes the actual research study and eventually present it in a
forum.

To increase clinical exposure, there is now a two-week rotation in

Emergency Medicine. In addition, the current curriculum offers one
month rotation for electives in any of the following: medicine
subspecialties cardiology, nephrology, neurology, nephrology,
pulmonology, and gastroenterology, Rehab Medicine and Anesthesia,
Minimally Invasive Surgery, Psychiatry, Pathology, Radiology. These
electives provide the learner further learning opportunities and in-depth
immersion in an area of interest to the learner and contribute to future
decisions in one’s career path.
